The house has 2 floors both identical, each floor is broken into 4 rooms with an outside entrance for each room and a fireplace in each room. There is a central chimney. Each room has it's own window to obtain the cross winds. It was built because Jacob had asthma and he believed that the fresh air was good for him.
