Week of October 20, 2005 - Our Stove

The original owner of the stove was Julia Eichermuller. She purchased the stove in 1925-1926. She used it up to the time her grandson, Bill Z (owner of J.Y.D. Antiques in Wilmot, WI) inherited it and then sold it to me for my "New" house. It has four gas burners, gas over, gas boiler and storage space. The "retro" stove has dual enamel color, and the standard luster of nickel and chrome.

The kitchen and its stove fueled the home and family of the 1920's and were central to all home activities.

"An old house has a soul nurtured by the passage of time."
