The kitchen wing of the
farmhouse was built in the
mid 1770's. At the time, it
served
as
a general
store.
The two cross beams by the
ceiling were discovered when the original ceiling height was raised from 7' to the current 9 foot height. The kitchen floor has 7'', 9''
and 11'' wide pine tongue and groove boards.
There is a gas fireplace in the
far corner which provides an ambiance of beauty to that room. The fixture over the kitchen table utilized a combination of low voltage and wax bulb shades to mimic the candle light appearance of the 1770's.
The seven windows on the south wall provide an expansive view to be enjoyed while dining or relaxing near the gas fireplace. |
