The basement, which is large and roomy, contains engine and furnace room, kitchen, laundry, servants-room, workshop, lock-up, billiard-room, and a coal-room capable of holding one hundred tons of coal. On the first floor is the reception-room, library, sitting- room or parlor, dining-room with pantry adjoining, and conservatory, which latter connects with the library by a wide piazza running the length of the southerly and westerly sides of the building. The hallway is large, with a dias or platform landing for the stairs, and an open fireplace in the corner. On the second and third floors will be the rooms for the members of the family, and guest rooms, all furnished by Mr Chas L Bly, of 37 Pearl Street, Boston, with electric lights and electric bells; water to be throughout the house, with bath-room on the second floor. The attic will be divided into three large rooms, with dormer windows. In one of these rooms, which will include the interior of the conical shaped tower, or turret, Mr. Stearns will sleep during rainy nights, "to the music of the rain-drops."

Many of these rooms open on balconies, or have bay windows, and from all of them beautiful views of mountain, bay, harbor, island and ocean may be enjoyed. Mrs Stearns 1 room is on the second floor and will be supplied with all the conveniences of a city built house, including electric bells and lights, and speaking tubes communicating with kitchen, hallway and dining room. Mr Stearns' office or "growlery," as he terms it, is entered by steps from the second floor, and is situated outside of the main easterly wall and directly over the port cochere, and bountifully supplied with light from three sides. The halls will be heated from steam radiators, and the rooms heated and ventilated by open fireplaces. - Industrial Journal of Bangor, 22 October 1886.
