| Structure: |
This two-story house has an unusual design. Instead of a hallway through the center or end of the house, its centered entrance opens into an L-shaped hallway with a staircase to the right, and connecting through a narrower hallway to the rear of the house. There are two rooms on the left side of the house and one large room, probably a dining room, behind the staircase on the right.
|
| |
| Chimneys: |
The house has two interior chimneys toward the center of the house. The left one provides fireplaces for the two left rooms, and the right one for the large room on the right.
