Note ID: | MS134 | Weather Conditions: | Sunny, high 60's | Report Author: | Mary Harding Sadler | Report Date: | 5/4/1999 | Location: | Mansion - Basement - Coat Room (E) / Reception (R) | Work Type: | Excavation | Notes: | A foundation has been uncovered in the basement area below the Entry Hall. The area is contaminated with asbestos. The feature is a roughly 8' x 10' rectangular area, bordered by a low brick wall. Near the center is a ramp-like depression about 3' x 4'. Raoul, the worker in charge of exposing the foundation, reported that he had found a lot of black rock "like comes from a volcano." Cara Metz guesses that the feature is an old furnace pit, and the black rock is slag, a byproduct of coal burning. This appears likely. Framing in the ceiling indicates that an old heating vent once opened in the floor of the Entry Hall above. |

Note ID: | JL575 | Weather Conditions: | Sunny, mid-70's | Report Author: | Joseph D. Lahendro | Report Date: | 5/5/1999 | Location: | Mansion - Basement - Beneath Ballrooms | Work Type: | Demolition | Notes: | Video and digital photos of possible brick flooring discovered below the demolished concrete slab close to the north wall in the area below the north ballroom.
