The walls were of stone, masoned with clay mortar and were about two feet thick, pointed outside of the house and inside of the cellar rooms with lime and sand mortar, and plastered inside of the rooms and chamber with mortar of lime, &c. The mason work of this house was done by three masons, by the job, for 30 L., equal to $75; and the carpenter's work was also done by the job, by a Mr. Wells, for the like sum of 30 L., equal to $75.
