Newland House Sleeping Porch
The upstairs' sleeping porch was built along
with the sunroom downstairs in 1915 and it was in this room that
the older sisters lived. There were 3 to 4 sisters living here
in this room.
The quilt on the brass bed on the left was made
by a Newland daughter. When the house is closed to the public,
both beds are covered by sheets to prevent the sunlight from
damaging these valuable quilts, as shown on the right.
On a clear day you can see for miles from the
east window and from the south window you are able make out the
blue Pacific Ocean if it's a real clear day.
On really cold nights the Newland girls could
hear the roar of the surf all the way up to the house.
