They added on a garage. I’d like to see the interior.

It looks like the garage replaced/displaced the al fresco loo aka outhouse! We tend to forget how much modern sanitation has done for our comfort and life-spans. Cholera was a real killer well into the 1900s.

Yep! Retro-electrifying a house was a cinch; retro-plumbing was second-mortgage territory.
