This house has undergone many renovations. In 1974 the courtyard was renovated and the fountain added. The fountain is turned off when groups of children are visiting for safety reasons.

The courtyard is very beautiful. Inside the courtyard, to the rear a bit is the fountain. Surrounding the fountain are 13 truncated stone triangles, about a few inches high, bearing each of the thirteen colony names, written on the sides. There are two cat sculptures on the fountain as well.
