Archaeologists decided to knock down the men’s bathroom and guess what they found! They found Sally’s 14-foot living quarters with the original bricks from the early 1800s. They also found a fireplace. The location of the room is something that interests historians. Sally’s newly found living quarters were actually adjacent to Jefferson’s own bedroom.
