The Conrad House kitchen



I am always interested to learn how people did the everyday things way back in 1895.  The everyday things we do today but with different tools and energy sources. The stove and oven is French and  cost   $125.


   The newest and greatest bread machine of the time. 

The instructions were embossed on the cover, add the ingredients and turn the handle for 3 minutes.


A butter churn that held 4 gallons of cream.  Table the butter churn is sitting on is a zinc table top and underneath is an automatic dishwasher of some sort. The large drum with a lid is an ice box.
The pantry below with the storage crocks and the newest carpet sweeper and floor polisher of the era.

The greenhouse just off the kitchen they could grow kitchen herbs and greens all year long.
The fireplace in the dining room and a wine cask below also in the dining room.


The house from a different angle, the grounds were beautifully kept.  --Ann--
