Mrs. Smith lived there happily and independently until 1995, when she was 102 years old. The building and the contents were preserved by local residents as something very special. Displaying the simple life of a lady who had little time for modern innovations it is typical of early to mid 20th century rural life with an old black range, a single cold water tap, period furniture, a washhouse and ladders to the bedrooms; all preserved as Mrs Smith used them until she died.
