Top of the Chimney in attic.  Top of the Witch’s staircase to the right.

Detail of chimney.  Note the black colors, an artifact of the kiln process I’m told, not from tars.

   Detail of top of chimney meeting the roof.

Base of Chimney. Probably used for storage of root crops, canned products.

Barn Foundation at nearby Collins residence, shown here for detail of holes in granite.

 

The granite was quarried locally, then three inch holes drilled into it.

The holes were filled with water in the winter, and the expanding ice

split the granite into smaller blocks!  Easier than cutting!
