“Open-hearth cooking has all but disappeared in America, but not here, in the 19th-century home of Scott Hanson. An architectural historian, Hanson is restoring his old house, an ongoing project that included rebuilding the fireplace and masonry oven.” Read about our traditional hearth-cooked Thanksgiving at Whitten House!
This article by Hannah Holmes with photos by Michael Piazza was published in Down East magazine in November 2017. We will be repeating the process this Thanksgiving for the 15th year. Link to the article: https://ow.ly/wN2h50Q9bNF
The restoration of this cooking fireplace and brick oven is included in the 1827 Kitchen Restoration example project in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
