Our kitchen was inspired by writings from Franklin Barlow’s Book “Reminiscences of a Hudson, Ohio Farm Boy”. In the early twentieth century, he recalls hot water coming from the reservoir on the side of the wood-burning stove to take a Saturday night bath near the heat. Buckwheat flour was stored in the pantry; then made into pancakes each morning to serve the family and farm hands that bunked upstairs. Kerosene lights were still being used at that time. Please notice all of the other turn of the century kitchenware: the icebox, scrub top table, butter churn and red hanging corner cupboard.
