[Front Porch faces] Sidewalk and Middle Avenue Common [top of page and left side of building with Bedroom] Alley? Avenue? [right of building with Sitting Room windows looking out to] Garden etc. That will give you perhaps some idea of it. The three West windows, towards the Avenue go down to the floor. The Parlor we do not use or furnish at all. On the Sitting Room, we have the carpet Samuel sent, and it looks finely, also Twenty dollar damask or trockatelle Curtains with gilt cornice & fittings. Instead of a sofa, we have got a pair of handsome divans, which with Melodeon, Whatnot Quartet, & chairs furnish it tolerably. The bed room is the best room in the house, and we have got it comfortably furnished with damask curtains, large Mirror & Black Walnut Bedstead Bureau Commode etc. In one corner of the BedRoom is a Marble top & bowl Washstand a fixture of the house, with both hot & cold water by a silver mounted fasset? head. And through a closet is a very convenient Bath Room with both hot and cold water at all times by simply turning a stop cock. The rain water runs into a large tank in the back Chamber, before filling the large underground Cistern.
