This drawing depicts the house built in 1786 by Deacon John Slafter in Norwich, VT. Slafter was an original founder of the town of Norwich. The drawing was made by John Slafter's great-grandson Theodore S. Slafter in 1867 at age 13, and was published in the Memorial of John Slafter. The house "was built in the style of the more commodious and expensive houses of that day. Its chimney was an immense structure, in the centre of the house, having three ovens, where the family bread and meats were cooked for the table. About the year 1850 it was modernized by removing the chimney and erecting smaller ones, and by removing the 'square roof' and replacing it by the more common 'gable.' The lofty elm represented in the drawing was planted by Mrs. Elizabeth (Hovey) Slafter, a little before,or soon after the erection of the house." At the time of the drawing, the tree was said to be 80 feet in diameter in spread of branches, and 16 feet in circumference of the trunk near the ground, with the first branchings 14 feet from the base.
