The hunch man’s house was built above his shop. It was a dark, dismal and an ill maintained four storied house that appeared to be very old fashioned. Some of the rooms in it were not furnished at all. As such it had many rooms and plenty of doors. Others rooms were also poorly furnished. The kitchen and scullery were undergrounded, very dirty and ill kept. The house was very old and in a dilapidated state. It was damp, thus the paper from the walls was peeling down here and there. The door handles, being old and rusty, were very stiff. The rooms were littered wit htheatrical lumber which seemed to be second hand. The blinds and curtains of the window hung unwashed. Overall the house had a very depressing air about it. Its spaciousness did not compensate in any way for its dreariness
