The Kitchen
Twice as large as the sitting room to the south, this is the heart of the
house. A large fireplace fills one wall with a bake oven built in. Several
cabinets take up the other all space. In the very center of the room is a long
narrow table with individual chairs instead of the benches more commonly seen.
