Inside the house at Rickety Bridge,
Len Raymond commented that the house had been built T shaped rather than a straight
farmhouse. Had it been straight, the roof beams would have been set at right
angles to the front wall and, since the beams in the dining area show no sign
of having been moved, they must have run across the room when it was built.
In
the middle of the dining room Len pointed out where a wall had been removed.
The wall would have divided the area into two rooms, a voorkamer, front room,
and an agterkamer, back room, with the present wall separating the agterkamer
from the kombuis or kitchen.
It
would have been in this middle wall that the wall cupboard would have
originally been situated.
The pictures show the original wall cabinet and the elegant dining room of the house.
