The Carpenter Shop
In Washington’s day this building was the center of much activity, it being the all-essential tool-shop for general repairs.
In outward appearance its original character and purpose are still preserved.
Its interior arrangement, however, has been altered to meet the urgent need of a fireproof repository for valuable records of the Association.
The Spinning House
The spinning house, north of the court, is where much material was prepared for clothing the servants, and where rag carpets and other fabrics were woven for the use of the family. Flax, cotton, wool and silk were there put through the various processes of spinning and weaving by skilled servants. The old loom, wheels, reels, and flaxbrake were recovered by Mrs. Rebecca B. Flandrau, late Vice-Regent for Minnesota, 1892.
