Seth Thomas & Sons Mantle Clock
This 1967 spelter mantle clock has an enameled metal face with Roman numerals. The case is decorated with lines and scrollwork. Two cast griffins form the handles. Mounted on the case’s top is a cast covered urn form.
An appraiser noted that originally the case would have had a bronze patina and also believed the top urn form to be a replacement.

His and Her Bathrooms
Back to Floor Plan
In 1935, Billings constructed a dividing wall in the original fourth bedroom to create two bathrooms. This is an example of one of those bathrooms which was very modern at the time.
The work yard originally consisted of four slave quarters, a two-wing stables, cistern, kitchen, and wash house. Two of the original slave quarters structures remain. One slave quarters was converted into a carriage house and later became a garage for Billings. The cistern and one wing of the stables have also stayed intact.
