Few records in this gallery name the building behind a shot like this one, so the picture is best read as a study in structure: a black and white view looking up into a timber roof frame, with the rafters, purlins and braced joints arranged in rhythmic lines against the light. Photographs of this kind were often made to document carpentry, whether for an architect's record, a survey of an old mill or barn, or simply to show off a framing method. Mid-century and earlier builders relied on hand-cut timber joinery that can still be read from such images, and the Southeast Massachusetts region, with its long history of shipbuilding and mill construction, offers many similar roofs worth comparing.
