There are two apartments on the end then the stairwell then two more apartments
and the bathroom
There were three apartments on the middle of the second floor and the bottom
section was the house lounge
The girls upstairs had a bucket with a rope on it and they
would lower it down for us to put the beer in. They would haul it up and us guys
would go in the foyer and pass the house mother and tell her we were just going
up to watch TV and play cards. About 10:30 or so she would come up and tell us
it's time to go.
- Gill Harris
Living in the first apartment by the door was the House Mother
It's said that some girls would climb through the end apartment windows after
curfew to get in
