Architect Clifford A. Renshaw's drawing (2000) of how the c.1678 house built by Richard Smith Jr. may have appeared. According to tradition, many timbers salvaged from the burned blockhouse were reused in the construction of the new house. Upper beams in the current house provide evidence of the two garret gables, and stone rubble found in front of the current entrance may be the foundation of the projecting central "porch". Framing for a door, which can be seen today through the viewport to the right of the front door, suggests the main entry was to the right of the porch.       The May 1692 inventory of the estate of Richard Smith Jr. describes a kitchen, hall, and dairy (first floor); a porch chamber, kitchen chamber, hall chamber, and lean-to chamber (second floor); and porch, kitchen, and hall garrets (third floor).
