The Spray's two-story house measures about 20 feet wide and 30 feet long. A large fireplace and chimney separate the two ground-floor rooms. One of the rooms is called the kitchen, even though it is not used for cooking. It has a dirt floor and a window with a shutter. It is used for storage and preparing and preserving food. The other room is the main living area of the house, called a hall. It has a plank floor, plaster on the walls and two diamond-paned windows. Two upstairs rooms in the attic are used for storage and sleeping. Mistress Spray is very proud of her glass diamond-pane windows. They are quite expensive and few people in the Maryland colony have them. They are a sign that her husband is a successful planter.
