The Fire and the Feast
The restoration of the original 1827 kitchen in Whitten House, including reconstruction of the missing cooking hearth and brick oven, is an example project in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.” This article’s scheduled photoshoot was the incentive for getting the plaster repair and painting done!
