The foundation is oriented 180º (south) and the house probably faced north towards the Main Road. There is evidence of a brick chimney in the middle of the south wall of the cellar. The cellar measures 25 ft across the north wall and 20 ft along the west wall. The foundation appears to extend 6 more feet on the north side. There appears to be a 12 ft x 12 ft extension off the south wall of the cellar.
This is an image of the foundation line beyond the cellar walls. All of the above images are stereoscopic pairs so if you can “freeview” the two images you will be able to see the contours of the ground.
