Mud Bay church

The first Indian Shaker Church at Mud Bay, Eld Inlet, Washington State, circa 1892

The first Shaker Indian church, also called the "mother church", was built above Mud Bay near Olympia, Washington, near the homes the co-founders of the church.[7][8]

The original about 18-by-24-foot (5.5 m × 7.3 m) church was oriented in an east-west direction, in a manner that would set the pattern for subsequent church architecture.[9][10]
