The Historic District

Note there are no power outlets at least visible. If that clock needs to be wound that's what the stool is for

I think maybe also sitting down to do the dishes, since the sink appears like there is enough room for knees underneath. Seriously, who wants to stand doing dishes for a large family?

These kitchens are fabulous. I'm green with envy, haha.
I've recently found a photo of my kitchen from the 1950s or 1960's... I'm so sad it was removed before we bought the house. Our current kitchen is nice and all... and I do have lime green countertops... but still, the old kitchen was AMAZING.
