The song titles reflect the music that Hamish and Erika listened to in the 1950s. The Jacome girls probably slept in these rooms. In 1913, the house offered its 15 residents just one bathroom, which was located on the first floor. Carlos and Dionisia made sure that they used the facilities before awakening the children each morning. Today, no such strategy exists.
Every bedroom has a private bath.
Modest furnishings, some from the home of Erika's parents in Germany, decorate The Big House. Bunk beds here provided sleeping space for the boys. Linens from the 1800s contribute to the ambience. Downstairs, the former dining room on the northeast side also offers spacious sleeping quarters. One wall still sports the built-in buffet, complete with mirrors.
