The house was a small saltbox home with two floors. Wood planks across the front and wood shakes along the side and back, just like his wife wanted. The fire place was built in the middle of the house and has two openings, one on the main floor, where the wood that kept the fire going stood in a tee pee form. And an opening in the office to keep the room warm. It was something George refused he wanted, but his wife demanded. And still to this day George says in his night time prayers to his wife, "I am still using the fireplace. Just more then I will ever omit."
