Looking down the hall...
past the front door
Into the very original 1800 keeping room.
The heart of the home, the hearth, to the left is a cupboard under the stairs, to the right is a bake oven and a storage place for wood, the little door above is the original salt box - it opens into the cold cellar - it would have been the driest spot in the house.
Peeking into the hearth, original crane and some tools, the cauldron has gone "missing", there will be a dutch oven simmering stew here by September. Mark my words, a meal in the hearth will be our housewarming.
