I would like to describe the house. It was built on a slight rise of ground on three sides, providing excellent drainage under the foundation, well preserved to the present. There were supporting beams used over large field stones spaced randomly. The main house, rectangular in shape, running about 75 feet north to south faced east. It contains a large attic, used in the 1850’s or earlier for weaving and sewing activities. Sheep on the farm provided wool for clothing, a universal custom in the eighteenth century. Woolen clothes were valuable enough to be mentioned in filed inventories of estates. Indian women from the vicinity would provide help for these activities. On the front on each floor there are two windows left of the front door and one to the right. Continuing on the front northward is a kitchen with center door and window on either side. As mentioned earlier, the kitchen seems to have been a small cottage in its own right, added to the house at some early date. It has a slight slope from front to back, in the wooden ceiling and in the floor. Much of the original beams are exposed. At the west end rear of the main house was an extended one-story with gable which had a small kitchen area, perhaps the original one, with rear entrance to the north with its outside stepping stone. There is a large cellar below and bulkhead entrance to it from the west or pond side. The front of the house had a large parlor-like room with door to the south to the side road. This room now runs along the full south side of the house for forty-two feet. Miss Mary Burgess told me that when she was very young, a girl came in this door riding a small horse or pony. In the 1920’s a fireplace and hearth was added along the north wall of the room. The room has five windows and two glass French doors and is a most pleasant and sunny room. About a hundred years ago it was heated with a large round stove. [Illustration] There is a small hall inside the front door and a stairway with curved ceiling up to five bedrooms, one of which contains a fireplace and small wrought iron Franklin stove that can be used on occasion. There is a stairway up from the kitchen to the ample kitchen loft and leading into the other rooms. Underneath the front stairs is a clothes closet, the only one in the house, which is I believe typical of the construction of the time.
