The 18th century detached brick kitchen, absent from this map, suggests two things: first, that the structure was not of sufficient value to be insured in 1837; and second, that the structures of the South Yard domestic slave work complex had a high intrinsic value.
Further from the mansion, archaeologists discovered a large double hearth that is the remains of one of the duplexes shown on the 1837 insurance map.
The lack of burnt clay in the area of the chimney base suggests the hearth was raised, and, in turn, indicates the home had a raised wooden floor.
