UNCLE JÁN’S HOUSE (Part 2)

Here is a sketch of the floor plan of Ján’s house as I remember it. On the street there is a gate that is much like an old-fashioned garage door. It opens onto a narrow courtyard that runs perpendicular to the street and along the length of the house. There is a small entry hall and a passage hall that runs down the side of the house parallel to the courtyard. The children’s rooms are still in the front. This is where Štefanko slept. Next there is a living room, then the kitchen and then the parents’ room. In the far back there is room where they still keep a pig. To get to it you have to go outside and through the courtyard. There is a large garden space in the back.
