Shaker Heights Patch is celebrating the 100 years of Shaker Heights history by creating an online scrapbook. Each day for 100 days, we'll feature a photograph that helps tell the story of Shaker Heights.
Today's photo features the cover of "Shakers and Kirtland," a scrapbook compiled by Louis Baus. Kirtland in Lake County,was an early home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons.
He was a "longtime Cleveland photographer noted for his photographs of lake and maritime history, as well as this collection of the Ohio Canal," according to the University of Akron. A collection of Baus' photographs are housed at the university's library.

Although the scrapbook is entitled "Shakers and Kirtland," it contains archival and contemporaneous photographs of landmarks throughout Shaker Village.
For the next several days, those photos will be featured in this online scrapbook.
