Water was obtained from an old fashioned well that was plumbed to a kitchen pump. The pump had to be primed with water to initiate the flow.

The parlor had a fireplace, a family organ, and a dresser with a marble top and a large mirror.

The cellar under the house was stocked with potatoes and carrots and other food supplies.
