1930's Kitchen, Henry Ford Museum
Additional Details:
The monitor top refrigerator, Hoosier cabinet, gas range, linoleum floor and an ironing board that folds out of the wall were state-of-the-art advancements in American homes during the 1930s, and reflect an emerging awareness of convenience, orderliness, and hygiene. A special exhibit in Henry Ford Museum compares this kitchen with those from the years 1790, 1840 and 1890 to illustrate how new technology and materials affected the daily lives of men, women and children. |
