What was the layout of the Riepers house?
We see that the house had at least two floors. Walking in the front door there was a telephone on the wall to the right, a staircase leading up on the left, and a narrow hall in front leading to the small, combined sitting room/dining room. Beyond that was the kitchen and a back door. Upstairs there were the boarders’ bedrooms in the front of the house, a bathroom in the middle near the head of the stairs and family bedrooms in the rear, over the sitting room and kitchen. Honora said “The rooms are small, but they’re comfortable.” We also know that there was a small bedroom with its own entrance built onto the back of the house.
