Tailor's Shop Addition and Well after 1766
In the floor of the cellar of this addition to the 1764 Tailor's Shop, a depression was found containing the remains of a small wooden box. A drain leading to the box indicates that water collected in the box and that it was probably used to cool milk in the cellar. Iron needles and pins from the 18th-century found in the cellar gave further evidence of the tailor's presence.
"By noon the snow had melted. Br. Stauber with his wife and four children... came from Friedberg with two wagons, and moved into the former tailor house."
