I possess a partiality for irregular houses, when you go up and down steps, out of one room into another and when you come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there are, and where then is a bountiful provision of little halls & passages, and where you find older rooms in unexpected places with lattice windows and green growth pressing through them.

Oil painting "The Old Mill" by Auburn and Cayuga County Artist George L. Clough
Water-powered mill with water flowing over the overshot waterwheel. Some clapboards and shingles missing on building. Pigeons perch on roof. A young boy with a fishing pole walks in foreground at right.
