The Dow Farm kitchen is in daily use in 2022.
The wood and coal fired cast iron range in the lower right corner is used for cooking and heating water, which is stored in the nickel-plated tank next to it. Cold water is hand pumped into the sink across the room.
Dow Farm has been lovingly restored over more than 45 years and is one of 13 beautifully restored houses featured between the how-to chapters of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
David Clough drove from Maine to New Mexico to photograph the 13 featured houses. Thanks to his gorgeous photographs, the reader can draw inspiration from the wonderful restoration work others have achieved. This image of the kitchen at Dow Farm is a beautiful example.
Signed and personalized copies of the award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book are available directly from the author in our shop, YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/.
