Where should a foot drain be in a “michigan” basement? – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Not the state of Michigan. An old cellar that was dug out to a basement. 

it’s defining feature is an outer three foot foundation, then a two or three foot ledge towards the interior, and finally a 6-7 foot deep wall that made up the standing room of the basement. 

Would a footer drain at the initial three foot foundation do anything beneficial? I could probably reach that one, but digging down to the lowest level of the secondary wall wouldn’t be possible for me.
