Wooden railings surround the porch and long posts give support to the over hanging roof. A large circular dining table centers a room appointed sparely with antique chairs and effects. Wide glass windows face the water. Behind the dining area sits the den which includes a desk and a full couch where one can imagine Douglass conversing with his guests while puffing on a favorite pipe. The nearly floor length kitchen and dinette to the left of the home is painted a grayish green which breaks up the deep brown hue which both dominates and enhances the dwelling.
Stairs separating the kitchen and living areas lead to the more confined and private bed chambers.
The master bedroom lies at the top of the steps and faces the bay. The four poster bed one can envision Douglass rising from is handsome, but not ornate. In the anteroom behind Douglass' room stands a sturdy, golden brown dresser and a walk-in closet with a chair and racks to hang towels, and shelves for folded clothes. Nestled at the end of the hall is the guest bedroom which has the solitary feel of a study. It is guarded by the guest bath and a tight hatchbox collection of steps which lead to the attic.
