This is the room that Bill Wilson stayed in when he visited Dr. Bob. In a speech that Dr. Bob gave in 1948, he indicated that Bill Wilson had stayed with him and his family for approximately three months. He also indicated that during the time that Bill was with them, both he (Dr. Bob), and Bill Wilson would stay up most nights until three AM discussing the steps, and the early program.
On the table between the two beds was a jar of saur kraut, and a jar of stewed tomatoes. Early on in his work with alcoholics, Dr. Bob provided large quantities of these materials to those newly sober. He felt that these were necessary, to give them a good cleaning out. Luckily, this method of working with new comers quickly fizzled out. Although, at times, it doesn't seem to be a bad idea!
