The Workers' Row House was originally comprised of three identical, two-story, 550-square-foot, four-room houses. These houses shared side walls, but each was a discrete unit; there were no doors to communicate between the units without going outside.

Figure 4. Current floor plan. At some point, the two southernmost units were combined into one unit, with a new doorway cut in to allow communication between the two front rooms. Two bathrooms were also added, and the stairway of the middle unit was removed.

Figure 5. The proposed floor plan allows for the four rooms of one unit to be restored to an 1850s appearance, the kitchen and rear bedroom of another to be restored to a 1910s appearance, and the remainder of the spaces to be used as offices, collection, and exhibit spaces.
