Image: Center Family Meeting Room Closeup of Doorway, Village at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky

Description: Closeup of the doorway that Catholic writer Thomas Merton also photographed in Black and White in several visits to Pleasant Hill. Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, is the largest and most elaborate of the Shaker-restored museums and visitor centers across the eastern United States. Many of the major, original buildings are restored for tours with exhibits in many rooms. The Center Family Dwelling is regarded as one of two masterpiece architectural gems in the village. (The other top gem is the main meeting house across the street from this building.) This second-floor meeting room is a space for the Center Family Shakers to worship by dancing and singing. This is the same room photographed on several visits by the Catholic monk Thomas Merton. Black and white images of this doorway appear in Merton collections of photos
