Armbruster states that a broad hall runs through the center of the house, on the left side of the hall is a parlor and sitting room. On the other side of the hall is a dining room, kitchen, and three bedrooms. In the sitting room is a colonial mantle piece, having pictures of the old Rapelye, Johnson, and Wyckoff houses. The upper floors contain eight rooms and a garret. In a corner of the hall is an ancient grandfather clock still keeping time. See other views for more data. For more data see the N.Y.
