The kitchen is very useful. Though some people think it is quite small, the space is very typical for the time. My wife and I lived in a 1930s bungalow for a few years and the kitchen was no bigger than this. We had less cabinet space and were expected to have a small table and chairs in it as there was no dining room in the house. The refrigerator is the same one that Mrs. Leighey had in the house. It no longer works, but is kept in the house for authenticity.
