Walking outside the basement, one could follow the stone path along the side of the house where natural stones form steps leading to the upper lawn level. Much of the landscaping was replanted from the Nolan farm and has thrived in its new environment. Pine trees are already large enough to provide privacy for the back of the home.

From its Old World flair to its functional floor plan, visitors will enjoy a peek into the Nolan home.
