The original hooks are used to keep doors open. The custom in so many of the homes of the period was to keep the doors open in winter and summer. The sun helped keep the chill off in the winter and the breeze in summer proved cooling and pleasant. The splendid mantle, which covers more than half of one wall in the main room both downstairs and upstairs, is handsomely carved. Wood carvings are used on doors and windows throughout the original house.
Elaborate wainscoting used in the main room and in the hall is of heart pine.
