Dining Room: This formal eating area was used for Sunday dinners, holidays, and when there was company. The closets were filled with toys, books, linens, and dishes. Sometimes the children would lay their schoolbooks on the table and use this room for doing their homework. Lillian Carter was not the seamstress of the family; her daughter Gloria sewed when she was in high school. Occasionally, the Carters would entertain and the table would be pushed back to allow room for dancing. |
