View of Keim house (right half of photo); ancillary building (formerly called a "cabin"), elevation view of the north gable-end, left third of photo; and Barn, left background.

FOOTNOTE
{1} The surviving cellar, sod covered for the past century, was the banked food storage space, ceiled by a stone arched vault, originally on the lower-grade level under a masonry "bakehouse" which was removed or collapsed early in the 20th century [see vintage photo record KHPH13--1002.01.057 for a view of the structure in the late 19th century]. See record KPH5 for a discussion of the stabilization and sheltering of the exterior ["extrados"] of the cellar vault with a new exhibit roof, completed in 2017.
