Backyard of 29 Hanbury St

Three small stone steps led to the yard, which was about 14' by 12'. The yard was part dirt and part paving stone. About 3' to 3'-6", left of the door- way, was a 5'-6" high fence made of wooden pailings, separating the yards of #27 and #29. To the right of the doorway, were cellar doors, with a wooden awning, which led to a workshop. Two feet away, on the right, was a water pump. At the yard's far left corner was a storage shed, and at the far right corner was a privy.
