Thanks for your review.The downstairs was built in 1910 so they did not have large kitchens in those days,Though we have old fashioned gas stove,microwave,toaster oven,hot pot,waffle maker,and coffee maker. But all those things take up counter space. But many have cooked a Thanksgiving dinner.Thanks for coming!
