Sizes available: 1024×768 | 300×225

Interior of Milton Presbyterian Church in Milton, North Carolina, built in 1837. The pews were made by the famous furniture maker Thomas Day, whose shop was located nearby. Day and his wife Aquilla, who were African American, were permitted to sit in the pews among the white worshipers rather than in the slave balcony.
