Since the kitchen was the largest room of the house it needed a large fire to keep it warm in winter. The kitchen served many purposes. All the household gathered in the kitchen where the big fire was burning. Around the fireplace the meals were cooked and most of them eaten, friends were entertained, and almost all the indoor tasks were done, including spinning, soap and candle making, and many others related to home industries.Original file name Parlor of the Wick House 2 (1).jpg3600 x 2800Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
