At the Elijah Oliver place:

PS Here’s a QuickTime VR tour of the Elijah Oliver place. Pretty neat. You can find useful information about Elijah Oliver and the buildings here and here.

The little room on the porch is apparently called a stranger room.

Cove residents also made room for strangers. They framed in their porches to create little rooms for overnight guests traveling through. Elijah Oliver enclosed his front porch to serve as a “stranger room” or an “Elijah room” (named after the biblical prophet, not Oliver).
