"'Singular, and of Ancient Style:’ The Architecture of Historic Ephrata Cloister!"
Build your house with industry, and lay the foundation downwards, and set it upon columns, and when you come to the top, then employ diligence, that you may cover it with a good roof, so that you may hide yourself under it when the skies are troubled, and must not be destroyed during a time of tribulation.
— Conrad Beissel, 1730
