Shaker architecture

A building in Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, KY taken in sepia. Shaker architecture was simple, practical and functional. The Shakers were a religious group and community that were around in the 1800's. Similar to the Amish, I think. They died out eventually because they did not not believe in having sexual relations; not even for procreation, if I am correct...

Thanks for the info about the Shakers. That's really interesting (and funny they didn't believe in procreation). Sounds like they deserved to have their community die out with beliefs like that.

Very nice Shaker building,there is still a Shaker community here in Maine.

Thier archtecture is simple and so very neat and clean looking.

Im not sure if any of the Shakers are alive but you can tour thier community here in Maine.

Nice capture, looks quite a simple house, but also build for a good size family, I have heard of the name Shakers, but don't know anything about them, interesting info, thanks.
