To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old or western half of the house consists really of two inde- pendent houses, each with its complete frame, summer and all, and independent fireplaces. The southern room is probably the orig- inal. The northern was built later against the old one, as the plan (Plate 27), and the small section drawn on it, will show. Here we see two girts side by side — a very interesting arrangement, recall- ing that soon to follow, if it did not already exist, where two rooms are built as parts of the same... building with one girt between and no summer in the side room. The original house was probably almost exactly like the Thomas Fenner, with the summer running crosswise in the second story, and stone -topped chimney with only one fireplace. When the second house was added the chimney of the new fireplace was patched on to the older stone -work. The original stone top is now replaced by a brick chimney which prob- ably is, like the roof, comparatively new. 'He was a carpenter or " housewright. " — Austin, Geneal.
