This gallery explores the structural backbone of the early 20th century, captured on the fine-grain emulsion of Roebuck Blue Label dry plates. From the ornate, shingled gables of village residences to the massive, hand-hewn timber frames of the region’s iconic barns, these images document a landscape in transition. Look closely for the intricate woodwork and community identity that defined the Bergen and Batavia areas—a testament to an era when architecture was as much about craftsmanship as it was about shelter.
