This ca. 1905 bungalow features 5 rooms, all connecting to one another, there are no hallways. The front entry has 2 doorwaysthe main door enters the living room, which connects to the dining room with a side porch. The other front door enters a bedroom with fireplace in the corner and a rare small closet! This room then connects to another bedroom and opens to the kitchen which features a rear door. No bathroomthere probably would have been a hand pump for bringing water into the house. There was a flue between the living and dining rooms and would have served both rooms with some kind of stove. Gas ceramic heaters were also used at this time.
