The eight sides of the home each have an exterior dimension of 17 feet 2 inches. Of two exterior doorways that existed in the sub-level kitchen, one remains and is in use. The other is closed but visible. The former kitchen is now a furnace room and utility room. Also at the sub-level, two original, parallel, bearing walls of grout construction run the width of the structure, supporting the first and second floors as well as the cupola. A large work area between those two walls is now a recreation room. Two rooms that served as living quarters for hired hands are found on either side of the two bearing walls. They now function as an artist's studio and as a workshop, respectively.
