Description

Frame # 14 of 16 (2-17) from 35mm color negatives, all various views of the buildings on the Jacob Keim Farmstead. 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. Details include: Sod-covered arched ["barrel-vaulted"] root ["cold," "cave," or "ground"] cellar just below the center of the photo{1}, random-rubble masonry, "quoin" stone corner-piers. 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. Laurence Ward, updated March, 2021
