B.R. 1-09: The House of the Seven Gables

I will introduce abou the book of  The House of the Seven Gables. This book was very hard for me to read. And the story was very difficult to understand. I used to search what I could't understand the words. I don't recommend to read this book. So I will write down bout this book story.
   As for seven decorative gables, the early section was built in 1667 for Captain John Turner.
It mentioned even John Turner III from John Turner's II, and remained in his family for three generation.
Facing the direction of the Salem bay south, it was two houses of a story (1?2) and the chimney of a heavy center which the basis equipped with two rooms and a crossing decorative gable.
This portion forms the middle of a house now.
Four original windows of the first floor room (it became a dining-room) remain in the sidewall of a house.
Several years afterward, the kitchen lean-to was added.
Turner added the large south (front) extension equipped with the chimney of itself which includes the drawing room of the first floor with the big bedroom on it in 1668.
The ceiling of this new building is higher than the very low ceiling of the older parts of a house.
The new building made the special feature the overhang equipped with the casement window and the carved pendant of double.
