DescriptionGroup photograph of Appalachian Industrial School students taken outside the old Conley home, now known as Farm House and located on the campus of Penland School of Crafts. From 1923 to 1938 the Appalachian School (as it came to be known) served as the umbrella institution under which the Penland Weavers and Potters were organized and the Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts) was established. The photograph is signed on front: "Eyer, Marion, N. C." Eyer's gallery in Marion was operational by 1911. Photographer may be R.V. Eyer who worked in Urbana, Ohio, circa 1896 and in Michigan in 1902 and 1903.
