Mud Bay church

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.

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.
