SOUTHWEST OUT HOUSE

Constructed around 1742, various insurance documents refer to this building as servants house, servants hall and workshop. The building has a large common area where servants could eat, work and visit with one another. Today the two smaller rooms are interpreted as the clerk's office and bedchamber.

In the nineteenth century, this building may have been the coachman's living quarters. In the plaster over the large fireplace in the main room is a painting of a horse. Local legend attributes this fresco to the coachman's daughter, Sally Payne.
