Ward – Summers House – Stairway from 3rd Floor to Tower. Behind camera, two furnished rooms, a bedroom and the six-sided sitting under the Tower. Beyond the door, four bedrooms for overflow at holidays for relatives or servants. These were not nicely furnished. They surrounded a large water storage tank, I think lake water, used for washing. Drinking water used separate pipes from a well. These extra rooms were above two large nice servants rooms and bath on second floor. Back stairway went from kitchen to third floor.
