" Where in that town green in Falmouth Massachusetts and we're going to visit the home. That is the headquarters of the Falmouth historical society. The house is known as the Julia wood. House after the last person who lived here who donated it to the historical society. But it was built for a physician doctor wicks back in the late eighteenth century and to meet one of the interesting things about this colonial houses the scale I find it to be very small yet when it was built in 1790 was considered to be the grandest largest house anywhere on the Falmouth town green noticed some of the detailing like the double front porch which is really very very rooted in palladian architecture. And up on the top of the roof a widow's walk said to be one of the last original remaining widow's walks from when ladies took a look out to sea to see where their husbands' ships were coming -- that's when you get up close to it that you can really appreciate. The size of the house. And not be intimidated by the style but let's say hello to the director of the executive director Carolyn powers hello. Hi -- eyebrow proper thank you. Now I've been talking about the scale of the house because it is rather small when you walk into this center hall this center entry. The wallpaper really grabs your eyes tell us about."

" We're very lucky to have this wallpaper is not original to the house but it was made. In the late eighteenth century in Paris and was brought back by a ship's captain Terry and his young bride. And was installed in -- home in another perfect case. Which was in danger of disappearing so we were lucky enough to get Ahold of it and it was put up in this house."

" The house is pretty much intact as I understand it I mean the components of the house -- is this door here they're all original."

" That's correct we're very lucky to have such a wonderful example the original architecture including."

" Federal -- the partitions are all just board partitions. Right yeah you see the profile of the wall here not being more than maybe 22 and a half inches."

" This room would have been the office that's correct out at that time there was that there are on the other side of around and people could come in and see the doctor without disturbing the family directly from the outside directly finance."

" Now the mantle piece again is. A -- yet what you call kind of a federal period mantelpiece was over the fine joinery. -- stuff that the carpenters or joint owners were really showing off their work on the underside of the mantel shelf so that if you receded you can appreciate it."

" Now what about some of the furnishings in here for example this very unusual chair."

" that chair would have been used by the doctor to it's a reproduction. And he would have sat and had the patient put the affected part on the wide."

" On the surface here it's ranked Tennessee so the doctor actually sat in the chair not -- correct. Now is this."

" And -- just behind us it is indeed and the bottles that you see in the foreground are reproductions in the back. Our actual bottles from doctor --"

" Time now the floors throughout here the hall and in here."

" Are spatter painted boards very simple decorations for a country home -- very serviceable it hid the dirt quite right --"

" And of course that they didn't have the availability of oriental rugs although sometimes they had floor cloths -- and this is still very popular technique today. Now the desk across the way would that have been typical is that late eighteen hundred's or late seventeen and."

" Late 1717. It's a New England piece we're really not sure that came from McCain. But it certainly fits perfectly in this doctor's office."

" Yes it looks like it's a country he's not a high style city piece but I love the the slant front form and then obviously they always. Focused on some aspect of the interior of the case to show off their abilities."
