Above is a map of Grove Farm as it exists today. As his sugar plantation expanded, G.N. built and furnished needed structures which faced a very large yard, enclosed by stone walls. Grove Farm soon consisted of  the old house, a carpenters shop, an oxen equipment shed, an office, his sleeping quarters, two guest cottages, and a plantation camp for his workers. Food still needed to be grown to supply the table, so the farm also included animal pens, a large garden, a great variety of  fruit trees with cattle and horses occasionally being pastured in the large yard.
