The Charles House is one of the original Quaker homes in Richmond, Indiana, and it sits along the National Road. It dates to 1813 and was a depot for the Underground Railroad. Eliza, from Uncle Tom's Cabin, was harbored here by the Charles family. It was a warm summer day and its site is next to a large rose garden. The trellis in the foreground equals the majesty of the old large home that also served as an inn for Quaker travelers looking for a new home. I liked how the house was kind of peeping out from the large trees surrounding it, and I was standing in the sun next to the roses trellis. The shadows added to the effect on the house.
