Dresser with 3 shelves on top part: bottom only a kind of shell being without shelves or divisions. Geese and hens were put to hatch here in spring-time. The chickens and goslings were put outside when they got a little strong.Pots were stored in this place when fowl were not there. The end room beyond kitchen was divided unevenly. The larger apartment was used as a shop up to 50 years ago and has a fine large window in the end as well as a smaller window in front to match the other front window. The smaller apartment is used as a bed-room as present. When family was smaller it was a little eating-room, where the family took their meals while the workman or workmen had their meals in the kitchen.
No 6 = table. No fire-place in "shop" or other small room.Parlour-door was on right of entrance door. The fire-place is on the wall farthest from kitchen. The room beyond that was divided in two by a wooden partition to form two bedrooms, the front room having a small fire-place at the back of the parlour fire; the other room is smaller and has no fire-place.

They are fine substantial lofted buildings all slated.
