| Built in 1830, the Dwelling housed 100 Brethren and Sisters in a communal dormitory setting. It contains unique and efficient design elements such as ââ¬Åsliding cupboardsââ¬Â dumbwaiters and ââ¬Åborrowed lightââ¬Â windows placed on interior walls and ceilings to distribute sunlight and fresh air throughout the large structure. The construction reflects the Shakersââ¬â¢ principles of celibacy and equality for all members: It is divided in half, with Brethren and Sisters using separate doors and stairs at all times. |
