The Place’s Charm
The only modern utilities on the property are electricity, oil heating, and two restrooms. According to the Marion Carll Preserve, a non-profit organization whose mission is to “restore and sustainably manage Ms. Carll’s gift in perpetuity while honoring the conditions of her will.” On a bedroom dressing table, an ewer and its base are shown. When running tap water was unavailable, these devices were used to hold water and wash in. Ms. Carll’s house is a true time capsule.

Transportation In The Farm
Another view of one of the many outbuildings on the Carll farm. This image depicts a sleigh and a wagon, both of which would have been drawn by a horse. A wooden plow can also be seen in the foreground, to the left of the sleigh. These old relics of transportation, like the other machinery found in the barn, provide a unique insight at how the various barns would have been used on a functioning farm.
