“They enter the massive dining room....The ceiling is constructed of heavy oak beams with birch paneling.”
“Three of the six bedrooms ...are in use.”
The above descriptions were selected because they tell much of the original house, before modifications and adornment by later owners. It is interesting to note, however, that the house when toured by Ms Hall contained a wealth of wonderful appointments, some of which might have been in the house over a long period. These included such items as crystal chandeliers, Mallard furniture, and a 1675 map of the “entire Gulf area when this land and water were owned by Spain.”
Also of possible importance was Ms Hall’s mention of a wishing well, as well as her description of the hobby of the Lister family. The latter involved the raising of Shetland ponies, of the Larigo breed. These two items may serve to corroborate the memory of another eyewitness, Mr. Nicaise, whose interview is reported separately.
