Other stoves, 1921
There were fireless stoves, like I posted yesterday, but also gas and electric and wood/coal type styles. There are even some that look a lot like "normal" standalone ones today. It seems like a transition period with all these different looks even from one seller; also, for the electric they say you have to specify voltage, with choices among many....
Fireless stoves, 1921
I had seen references to these in old cookbooks and am so happy to learn more about them. Sorry about the awkward non-overlap; I'm working with a tiny screen today...
Icebox, 1921
It holds a lot of ice! which of course was very helpful. It would have been easy to organize...

A kitchen-rooms arrangement ---- yes, please!
From the 1901 Modern British Domestic Architecture and Decoration, edited by Charles Holme. Larder! Scullery! Dining! Garden, or is it space for kitchen staff?! Knives and such (can't read that last word, hmm but in similar houses it looks like boots...and there's a boots-and-knives boy mentioned in an old magazine, whose picture is below)?! Serving setup complete with hatch! Pantry! More cook's storage! Housekeeper's storage which I'm not sure was foodish....It's all like half the ground floor!
