There’a also a picture of the same building taken in 1910 at this historic photo archive that shows how little it has changed over the years. Kaweah turns out to be a pretty interesting place- it was founded by a Danish-American socialist as a utopian community in 1886. Click here for more on the community’s history.

This one is in Middlefield, in the Berkshires.

I’m assuming there are no murals or bas reliefs on the walls in Louvale.
