Abstract:
The kitchens in this photographic essay are not the gleaming showplaces of the twenty-first century but instead are workplaces that are essential to the life of the home, whether it be an estate, regular village home, coastal lifesaving station, or a battleship. Among the kitchens pictured are Biltmore Estate, Carl Sandburg's home, the Winkler Bakery in Old Salem, Somerset Place, and the Battleship North Carolina.
