Southwest perspective view of surviving south gable, west eaves walls, northern chimney centered on roof ridge and SE corner chimney.

Digital image from original photographic print showing southwest perspective view. Details include: corner chimney [near-right], north gable-end chimney [left background], pargeted random-rubble masonry. The coverage of the remaining "stucco," a 19th-century application designed to protect the mortar joints and "modernize" the exterior with a white-washed monolithic appearance, also concealed major repairs to the gable wall and river-side eaves wall [see Image # 2 showing the polychrome effect of larger and differently colored stones laid in the repaired area.] The restoration masons were undoubtedly more concerned about the more stable bonding quality of larger stones, and were probably indifferent to the color disparity, which would be covered by the lime-stucco rendering seen in the 1886 woodcut, Image #3, and surviving in weathered condition and with significant loss of coverage of the stone and mortar until the middle of the 20th century]. The original HABS caption for this image is as follows: "Historic American Buildings Survey, Cervin Robinson, Photographer August 1958 VIEW FROM SOUTH."
