In the 1924 restoration, Mr. Chambers enclosed the entirety of the back porch on the second floor and had it extended across the back of the house. This side was used for linen storage, ironing, and coal, similar in many ways to a laundry room, except a washer and dryer are missing! The family never did their own clothes washing. In the early days, maids and washerwomen took care of the family's laundry. As the sisters got older and this was no longer a common practice, they had their laundry sent out, delicates and all!
