The 18th century detached brick kitchen, absent from this map, suggests two things: first, that the structure was not of sufficient value to be insured in 1837; and second, that the structures of the South Yard domestic slave work complex had a high intrinsic value.
Further from the mansion, archaeologists discovered a large double hearth that is the remains of one of the duplexes shown on the 1837 insurance map.
The lack of burnt clay in the area of the chimney base suggests the hearth was raised, and, in turn, indicates the home had a raised wooden floor.

Epidemics of typhoid, cholera, and gastro-enteritis took a regular toll of the population.
More seriously, it became apparent that, should New Haven be struck with a major fire — such as that which struck Long Wharf in 1820, destroying 30 stores and warehouses, or the fire at Orange and Chapel Streets, which in 1837 destroyed twenty buildings - the city would be powerless to fight it.
Although serious-minded citizens had been concerned about the problem since the mid-1830s, it was not until 1849 that a group led by James Brewster, Henry Peck, E.G. Read, and H.H. Hotchkiss, succeeded in obtaining a corporate charter for the purpose of supplying the city with pure water.

More or less extensive continental glaciations, or glacial advances, may have occurred at other times.
The study of glacial periods owed its first impetus to the Swiss-American naturalist Louis Agassiz, whose conception of Pleistocene glaciation was presented in his address before the Helvetic Society 1837 and in his Etudes sur les glaciers 1840 No satisfactory theory on the cause of glacial periods has yet been accepted.
