This looks as if it is the entrance to the home, but it is the rear of the Wright's Ferry Mansion. |
On the kitchen side of the Mansion was a water pump under grape vines. In the right rear of the photograph is the exterior of the squirrel's tail oven. |
This plaque is on the exterior of the Mansion. Click on photographs to enlarge them. |
The parlor shows the wide unfinished flooring. In the center is a stone fireplace with cabinets on the right and a set of stairs on the left with faux cabinet front. |
Another view of the parlor showing the desk that was probably used by Susanna for record keeping. |
This was the clock room which featured the large Grandfather's clock in the rear of the photograph. This room also had a fireplace for warmth. |
The kitchen had a very large fireplace that had a squirrel's tail oven for baking and had a rather unusual device for cooking known as a clockjack rotisserie. |
Another view of the kitchen showing the turkey hanging on the rear wall. The table in the center could be used for eating meals. |
