Here is the only closet in the house. Note the door frame and compare it to the one below. Because closets were so unusual in 1835 and because of the difference in the woodwork, I don't think this was original with the house. It is possible that this was the crawl space below the staircase that was removed after Nancy's death in 1882.

This room held a real surprise. To the left out of view was a deteriorating wooden casket filled with junk (no body!) I have a theory as to its origin... Click on "Next" below to go to the cemetery to see what I mean.
