" in -- port Massachusetts. Where we're visiting the Winslow Crocker house with Peter get woman from the society for the preservation of New England antiquities at Peter obviously the center entry is what marks it. In in our kind of lexicon as a colonial what are some of the other features here but the fact that -- that perfectly balanced symmetrical facade. And the fact that the windows leave straight from the roof and go straight down it has a wonderful flat appearance to it. And would have been quite impressive from the road yeah this is one of the important things about colonial houses is that. There is a lot of order to the arrangement and the size of windows -- all the same size and -- all kind of spaced. Equally apart so that they make a uniform pattern. And that obviously is something that should be respected if we're building a reproduction what about the actual windows though they they have a lot of panes don't they. They do and in fact these are not your original panes to this house the fact is that this house is not and even on its original location -- really it was moved down the road about nine miles from mom responsible because the woman who purchased it to save it Mary Thatcher. Decided we'd be better off in her own backyard because in fact this was her location her family compound. She comes from an old Cape Cod family and that's precisely where she wanted to this is back in the 1930s -- we're looking at an endangered. Antique house indeed and a wonderful citizen of the town who saves it and she simply wanted to make it more colonial than than it appeared to her so she replaced those six over six windows with. Twelve over twelve did she do a lot of changes on the inside she get a fair amount of changes on the inside but they were all very cosmetic she respected the original fabric of the building and removed them board by board and brought them down the way. Things like removing paint and done furniture arrangement was really what she changed on the inside let's go inside and take a look short. OK now this is small center entry I mean the staircase is right in front of you it's intimate and the paint I I don't expect to see woodwork without any paint on wooden colonial house well when Mary thacher moved house here in 1935 she decided to remove all of the paint to show the warmth of the original wood which is of course completely authentic. But it's what Mary thacher wanted for her home. OK and this is 1930 so that was different attitude is pretty elegant though for country architecture it is some Winslow Crocker the original owner of the house was a farmer and a merchant anything quite well and if you look at the fire at the whole area that staircase you really get a sense looking at the brackets. And the spindles here. -- it -- dramatically. Elegant gates yet he had a very good craftsman putting all of this together and would have impressed that the paint been removed throughout the entire house throughout the house -- Now the center entry colonial twin parlors on either side right and usually they were a sixteen by sixteen foot square model. Wouldn't have been told have -- to do with the lengths of logs that they were harvesting at the time that's right yeah. Look at that -- can imagine the log that must have come from this board. This this panel is created from nearly a three foot width of -- And this would have -- the native white pine right exactly. We are -- in what is the same room on the first floor as on the second or just a large room sort of a throwback to earlier times. But in fact this room was once divided Winslow Crocker the original owner of this house. Left it to two sons and that the two sons lived side by side but very separately and they put a large wall right in the middle of the fireplace. And divided it's they each had access to the chimney. So they they actually just put a wall right up to the chimney and created two different firebox board wall up to lay out the -- and and a we're here but -- a nice display of how they would have cooked and how they would have used a fireplace not just throw heat in the room but this is the essential hearth. -- the kitchen."
