biddle. this image right here shows you it was that top rectangular box, they were doing rest tradition like in the 1960s they sort of fell off on to the restoration workers. we've heard sin then the early builders would leave tools as sort of their calling card saying i was here, this is my work. we have them on display. now, some of the original nails but we also have the plans of the buildings here when is the production of course. it shows -- these look a lot different than the blueprints you see nowadays but you can see how he laid it out, all the graphs that he bill into the design of the space. down here are some cometicly large keys that goes to different places. this is the front door key originally. another thing that owen biddle is famous for is writing a book called young carpenters. there was a lack of real educational schools for other people to learn how to do this sort of work beyond just a -- so he wrote one of these first reference books to teach people how to do constructio
