| Meals
were prepared for the many laborers as well as the benefactor
and it was a full-time job for more than one cook. An outdoor
oven was used as well as an indoor oven. |

| This
is actually a non-historic storage shed, but it is in keeping
with the rest of the buildings. |

Dr Tolmie
was the Factor of the fort and his house was built "Yankee
style". He convinced the Hudson's Bay Company to replace
his original residence with this larger building by exchanging
some of the fort's cattle for some locally milled lumber.
This house has a most glorious porch on it. |

| The
living room area was pretty and cosy. |

|
| I
loved the child's chair by the fireplace. :) |

|
| Across
the hall was the dining room, set up for a meal. |

|
| I think
this is either the master bedroom or a nap room for the lady
of the house when she is weary. It adjoined the living room. |

And
last but not least, I think this might have been the nanny's
quarters, judging from the laundry rack and the tiny chair
and table in front of the fireplace.
I've
always enjoyed seeing how others live(d), and Fort Nisqually
was no exception..
