The ground floor of the outer buildings in the courtyard were
probably used as a coach house and stables.
The question arises where the slaves might have slept. Perhaps
Jonas, Citie and their children (Hector and Jacob)
slept in one of
the two upstairs rooms, and the others in the other one. It is
likely, too, that some of the personal slaves slept in the house
close to their mistress, so that they could be at hand immediately
if their help was needed in the night.
There is a small original wall painting of a mid-19th century ship
in the top right-hand room.
