This small room is next to the Latta girls' bedroom. While the Latta children were young, a female slave probably slept here to help with their care.

Later on, a personal maid or other house servant could have slept in the room or it may have been used for other purposes, such as a sewing room.

The bed is very small, but that does not necessarily mean it was for by a short person. Many people in this time period used so many pillows that they slept sitting upright.

The device at the foot of the bed is a yarn winder. Spun wool would be wrapped around it as part of the process of forming a skein.

At the front of the room is a great wheel, also known as a walking wheel. When spinning on this device, the spinner would walk backwards away from the spindle, drawing out the thread to its correct thickness and would then walk forwards to wind the completed thread onto the spindle. An excellent spinner, if she worked at it from early in the morning until late in the evening, could walk as much as 20 miles. Spinning was a tiring task!

To the right of the bed, there is an doorway leading to the upstairs hall. Since this small room has two doors and is unheated, it is definitely the least desirable room in the house.
