Scope and Content Note
This series consists of two large maps, one measuring 83.5 x 152 in., the other measuring 56.5 x 77.75 in., depicting the buildings and grounds of the Craig Colony for Epileptics as it appeared in 1895. Both maps are drawn at a scale of 1:100 in. The larger map depicts the entire 1500 acre farm including clearings, woods, creeks, town lines, railroads and existing Shaker buildings. The plan is attributed to John Young (M. Am Soc. C. E.) and Stanley Shepard, Transitman and Draughtsman. The plan is rendered in charcoal, ink, and water color. The smaller map shows a 587 acre section of the property including existing Shaker buildings.
