Two original captions: "The dining room of the laborer's house in Jefferson Barracks was restored with furniture characteristic of the 1850-1865 era. The civilan workmen ate their meals on a "Hutch" table, which could be converted into a bench when not in use." "Dining room in historical building in Jefferson Barracks has been restored in laborers' house. It was built in 1851 for civilian workmen by Maj. Henry Ball and has been furnished with items of historical interest."
