Transcription

No. 6 Northwest end of the house with north view of the front porch. You see the length of the porch and how high it is. You can also see the balcony railing in the second story just above the front door. Windows in the ground floor belong to the parlor. In the second story the window over the porch and the window just around the corner belong to Rose’s room. The ladder was to pick cherries. By it you see the back steps and the kitchen together with a little corner of the Chapel.
