 | | Henry F. Long on property adjoining the hospital that Long founded, construction began in 1903 after their first home was destroyed by fire. |
 | | Long commissioned a “fireproof” house, so the exterior walls (brick) are 12”; the roof is slate and metal and the interior walls (8”) were covered in concrete before the plaster was applied. |
 | | Also on the property is a three-car garage (originally a carriage house), which measures 22’x 34’, a late 1800s 14’x 28’ building used as an ironing house for the hospital, a 12’x 14’ smokehouse, and an 18’x 24’ one-car garage. |
