    The Weylin plantation is large.  “The house is a red-brick Georgian Colonial, boxy dormered windows, no columns, no porch to speak of, and two and a half stories high with a chimney on each end.  The “plantation contained woods, a row of cabins, which were slave quarters and the rest was fields.” (pg 67).  Earlier in the story Rufus states that they have 38 slaves on the plantation.  The house is a good size, but Dana notes that it is not really imposing enough to be called a mansion.
