The Boarding House
is sort of a rambling late 1800's early 1900's type building. There are
rooms to let on the second floor with two commercial rentable sections
on the first. There are also entrances for the commercial renters on the
backside of the building. The front side renters enter by first climbing
the stair just to the rear of the wooden front sidewalk. They must cross
an open walkway across the front of the building being careful not to
hit their heads on the guide rods that hold up the lower canopy. Renters
at the rear of the second floor enter by first climbing the open
staircase at the back of the building. They enter a common hallway and
gain entrance to their rooms from there. There are no inside stairs in
this structure.
The commercial
renters each have a rear entrance for private entry and deliveries of
goods. The inside footage is not equal and one renter has a long
corridor to walk before reaching the inner back door to his section. As
the Boarding House abuts the next building to it's right there
are no windows on either floor. There are three brick chimneys with each
rentable area having a small coal fired stove for both heat and cooking
purposes
