Abstract
The kitchen was a major center of activity in the household. The large coal and gas range dominates the room. It was used as a heating source as well as for cooking foods. A worktable provided space for food preparation; a cupboard stored pots, pans and dishes; an icebox kept perishable food items cold; and a sink for dishes and laundry utilized indoor plumbing, a recent innovation for working-class households.
Some of the artifacts placed around the kitchen are the copper pot used to cook polenta, meat grinder, fish scaler, coffee grinder, rug beater, mousetrap, and wall calendars, which were used by working people as decorations.
