Descriptive Information

Title
Views of the Sholty Homestead in Dale Township  
Description
The Sholty farmstead, built by Jacob Sholty, featured a corn crib, large barn, and his son's residence.  
Interpretation
Smaller farmsteads, such as that of Sholty's son, are shown at the top of the figure. Because farmers had to pay to have their portraits or buildings drawn, small farms are not often shown. Sholty's other farmsteads give some idea of what life was like further down the economic ladder.  
Inscription
The Sholty Homestead in Dale Township, 1887. (P&B)
