This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...much resembled the Mygatt house, Wethersfield, to which, in dimensions, it almost exactly corresponds. In the first story there is no summer in either of the front rooms, though the girts show Figure 76. all around the room, and the ceiling shows the presence of a beam in the place of the summer--a beam very likely still called by that name. The new chimneys which replaced the old stone stack are built, as the plan shows, in front, that is, north of the girts which bounded the hall and parlor. This story, as the section will show, is very high, as high as that in the Fiske house. Miss Griswokl, of Guilford, gives us this information. In the second story, in the little passage partitioned off at the head of the present stairway, are still to be seen the two posts of the rear wall, with the chimney girts they carry. One of these girts is chamfered on both sides. The posts also are chamfered, and the whole is well wrought, better than is usual in this colony, though the work here surpasses that in Hartford. The summer Figure 77. exists in the parlor chamber, and in the hall chamber as well, though both summer and girts are cased. In the attic we found no traces of patching and repairing such as would have been necessary after the change in the plan we have spoken of. The roof is therefore probably not original. Very likely it dates from 1815, the time of the alterations. It has been strengthened, since it was built, by the introduction of collar beams; for the rafters at first spanned the whole house and carried vertical boarding on purlins, with no tie except at the floor framing. The danger of failure, however, as it proved, was not in spreading--and the result was a justification of the old builders' scheme in that regard--but in the bending of the rafters ...
