The Butler's Pantry is still furnished with the original stove and other items used in the early 1900's. How convenient this was with the large preparation kitchen next door. Today our caretaker uses the kitchen and sitting room next to it for his family. The call-bell system was headquartered in the preparation kitchen, a central location for services to the family.
The building was again renovated in 1915 at which time much of the plumbing and electrical work was brought up-to-date. A central hot water heating system was introduced, which made all of the living quarters much more comfortable.
To the rear of this building were located, the Stables and Garage and the living quarters for the chauffeur and horseman. Those quarters were furnished with a heating plant and had plaster and lathe walls to ensure that the vehicles would be in good condition. Here also was the Darkroom and Machine shops used by Sherman Fairchild in his early work with photography and other inventions.
