For a commodious house we invite close attention to the floor plans of this design. The front hall (with handsome stairway) opens into the parlor, dining and family rooms and by a narrow passage into the back hall, which in turn opens out on to the back porch, into kitchen, back stairs, family room, bath room and bed room. The second story, besides having a beautiful hall, has three large chambers and a servants room, with ample closets to each, a large cedar closet and store room, also a convenient attic stairway. In the family room bay window book cases, with glass doors, are built in either side. A pleasing change in this plan would be to omit the fireplaces and substitute sliding doors between parlor and dining room. The exterior is well proportioned and speaks for itself. The long veranda is richly finished and with its grand entrance way cannot fail to be admired by all. There is a plate-glass window in the hall, and the parlor bay has a horseshoe window, with plate and stained glass. These plans can be enlarged reduced or changed to front in any direction. Interior, Parlor and hall are finished in antique oak; sitting or family room, sycamore; dining room, ash or cherry; front chamber, chestnut. Balance of rooms are to be painted or stained as desired. Plastering, three-coat work, hard finish. Plumbing consists of sink and pump in kitchen, bath tub and bowl, with supply and waste pipe connections, gas throughout. Outside materials, first and second stories clapboarded, belts shingles and wainscoted, gables shingled, roof slated. Iron cresting, galvanized iron gutters, etc. Outside blinds. Painting, three coats. Foundation walls stone, raised pointing. Size, over all except steps, 42 feet x 59 feet 6 inches. Height of stories 10 feet 6 inches each. Depth of cellar, 7 feet, under all up to family and dining rooms.

Researcher's Comments:

Until such time as the tumor can be removed from the front of this house, try to uncover any old or historic photos to document this once proud home.
