The Framing mostly chestnut and oak, is hand-hewn, with mortised joints held with pegs. The timbers which form the main framing and the four corners of the tower are about 12″ on a side with studs and supports mortised into them.
The Pilasters on the outside are cut from single poplar boards, and other portions of the outside trim are made of poplar.
The Original Clapboard is not tapered.
The Original Floor is pine; boards are about 1.5″ thick.
The Inside Woodwork is planed walnut (except later work)
The Windows sashes are original and hand-made, but the glass has been changed twice in the big side windows. The original glass was clear and was made in Greeneville. It still exists and may be seen on the windows in the front. At some time, the glass in the side windows was replaced with colored panes. In the 1951 restoration, the present frosted glass was put in because the view outside was no longer pastoral or attractive.
The Plaster is original, including the medallions around the lights.
The Lights are modern reproductions of early American chandeliers. All indications are that the original lights held candles, but were replaced by a succession of lighting fixtures when kerosene and electricity became available.
The Big Arch in the chancel was cut-in about 1894 and reflects the “Victorian” period of architecture rather than the “Gregorian” of the original building.
