The little square white looking room xtending on to the verandah is a bathroom belonging to the guest room which is just behind it. To the left of the guest room is the living room. We have a dining room and store rooms downstairs." This is another view of the Hildreth's house, but has a slightly different caption, detailing different parts of the photograph.
