RE: Rich Hill Photos
Here is a question for you historical architects out there. When I visited Rich Hill in late July I was invited inside by the workmen and I took lots of photos including many of the original log beams with visible ax cuts. Inside the front door and between the front parlor and back room was a wooden constructed archway. (BTW, the same looking archway is in the Peyton house in Port Conway) On the flat surface of the arch, facing the opposite side was a decorative metal plate or escutcheon screwed into the wood about 40" above the floor. I believe there was one on the other side facing each other. It did not appear there was ever a sliding door between the rooms. I am curious as to what is the purpose or function of this plate. I tried to post photos but the direction to post did not sync with the website. Frustration reigned...
