The museum housed in the Susannah Place displays the knickknacks of daily use. In fact, the number of amenities present at Susannah Place makes it distinct from the other housings of the Rocks. The layers of wallpapers adorning the walls show how tastes and designs have evolved down the years. The building still has functioning water closets, bathrooms and laundries that challenge the concept that the Rocks had always been plague and pestilence stricken. The museum has a collection that includes a bathtub, a porcelain pieces, broken bits of a doll’s face, and other usual household items that narrate silent tales of the people who are probably no more. There is also a shop that has been reconstructed out of an original 1915 store.
Susannah Place had survived several attempts to revive it, and in the move to preserve the original Rocks, it has been credited as a building steeped with history and heritage. It is now maintained by the Historic Houses Trust who keeps the building open everyday for public viewing.
