Description
Inside the kitchen of the lighthouse keeper's house. My mom told me Grandma had an old stove like this waaaayy back. Look at those irons too. I am sure glad I don't have to use those!
Thanks for looking, My previous upload, "The Keeper's House".
Hugs,

Wonderful shot! And notice no fancy knobs or thermostat...that's when they held their hand in the oven to test the temp. Ah, yeah, I'll take my digitally controlled one, than you, LOL. But I have always been amazed that they would cook such good food and especially bake on stoves like these!

I helped my grandmother cook dinner for 30+ people on a stove like this. Piece of cake once you figure out stoking it... :-) Fabulous shot that hits the heart for me.

Like PJ, I was in the kitchen when my grandma made food on such one too. There was a special smell in the kitchen, when she cooked :-))) WONDERFUL memory :-)))

I've seen these, but I've never experienced one in action. My grandmother actually had a smaller one that she found on one of her countless antique crawls...she cleaned it up and then used it as a place to display her cookbooks and antique irons. I remember such irons too...she had zillions of those. Some were original to the family, others were nicely carved things with extravagant handles "for rich women," she said, usually with a smirk...she smirked a lot: and you gotta love a sarcastic grandmother. What I really like, though, is the whole vibe of this picture and that wonderful polished bit down at the bottom of the stove! WOW! Talk about elegance. And like the pantry shot (I'm looking at these in reverse) this has that great sense of color and ambient light that works so well.

I have a friend in Oklahoma that still uses such.they lived 9 years in a cabin with no running water,electricity,or indoor plumbing.they finally moved back into town to avoid the long drive to his work.now he works out of his home with modern appliances. mind you all the time he had expensive software, printers for his architecture drafting business.he just wanted to half way be like our forefathers excellent shot
