Antique Cast Iron Stove

An antique cast iron stove for ornament and comfort. Cast iron stoves largely replaced open fires for heating in the mid-19th century. They were often installed in front of the open fireplace, as here. Such stoves can still be used for primary or supplemental heating, and ambiance, burning wood or converted to gas for convenience.

Chapter 8 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” discusses historic heating systems and delves into appropriate options for modern and efficient HVAC systems that don’t distract from the historic character of your home.

The Record Farm is one of the 13 featured homes in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Complete Guide for Homeowners.” Read about the 40+ year restoration of this property and see historic, before, and during restoration photographs along with Dave Clough’s beautiful photos of the results.

The 720 page award-winning and best-selling hardcover book is available in bookstores nationwide and from online retailers.

Signed and personalized copies are available directly from the author in the shop on this page, https://yourhistorichouse.com/shop/.

Bookstores can order copies from W.W. Norton.
