June, 2013 ~ Kenmore, early 1900s
Visitors to Kenmore today might be surprised at how different it looked in the early 1900s. The arched addition on the left was used as a modern kitchen. When the Lewis family lived at Kenmore in the 1700s, they used a kitchen dependency, located away from the house. The original kitchen dependency, a wooden structure, was likely removed shortly after the Civil War. This modern kitchen was removed after the property was acquired by the Kenmore Association in 1925. The kitchen dependency at Kenmore today was built on the site of the original 1700s kitchen.
Note also the small, Victorian porch over the steps and, though difficult to see in this image, there was a stained-glass window in the stairway window immediately to the right of the main door.
