Newland House Dining Room
The room you are looking at is the dining room
where the family would gather for their evening meal and to talk
over the day's happenings.
The oak table was theirs and the dishes on the
table were their everyday dishes that the family used. A piece of their good
set of china is on the bottom shelf of the built-in china cabinet
to the right.
The picture on the left is that of William Taylor
Newland, the man who built the house. There is also a picture
of his wife Mary on the mantle taken in the family's back yard
in 1949 on her 90th birthday. But it is difficult to see in this
picture.
The fireplace with its green tile work in back
is the only other source of heat in the house other then the
kitchen stove and made this room very enjoyable during the winter
days.
A silver tea and coffe set sit in the dinning
room while the 1890s clock keeps the current time.
