John and Lucretia Prince House shown at the left in top photo and in Plate IV , was used as a "tenement house" until Seth Tuthill's son sold it in 1919. It was probably at that time that the small front porch and dormer were added. The first large chimney had been 7x51 feet at the base, with fireplaces opening both front and back, to living room ani present dining room. At the second floor level it was 4x2J feet and had a small fireplace in the central upstairs hall which opened into five tiny bedrooms, two of which were under the front eaves. Douglas and Alma Cummings, the present owners, replaced a later chimney, and again have a fireplace in the living room. More at Plates III and IV. 12.Z. Lucie M (Prince) Scatt House. Southold.
