This photo shows the Lepley long rifle gunsmith shop that was located in front of the stone house on the Southampton Township, Somerset County Lepley farm.

According to the book, William and Effie are in the photo.
I helped to perform repairs to this building in the 1960's, when it was being used as a corn crib. It was only much later, after the building was long gone, that I learned of the local tradition that it was the Lepley gunsmithing shop. The building was located out in front of the Lepley stone house.
