The Kitchen

An impressive 'Eagle' cooking range is the focal point of this room. The range boasts a warming oven, a roasting oven for meat, a baking oven for cakes and bread, a see-through mica oven door and a temperature gauge.

Native New Zealand kauri (a durable hardwood) was used for the tables and dresser. To keep the bench tops clean and in near white satin finish, they were scrubbed with sand, soap and water.

All items in the kitchen, including a 1927 Frigidaire refrigerator and the large collection of Delft style items, were in constant use.
