It is always 1932 at Wellington Farm, USA in Michigan. The Summer Kitchen is equipped for the housekeeper of the Great Depression, and is a working kitchen for demonstrations and special events. A Grist Mill is nearby milling corn for cornmeal, barley for flour, or shelling corn.
We found these photos in “The World’s Modern Cook Book” of another 1932 kitchen: This kitchen, first photo, shown how it looks the middle of baking a cake, is well-planned for 1932. The table is rolled close to the refrigerator when in use, and the mixer attached to a [new-fangled] wall socket. Note the stove is only steps away. Second photo, a Hoosier-style cabinet with built-in flour sifter and spice caddies has extended storage to the right and left. Third photo, Small cabinet above the sink for dishwashing items with a under-rack for brushes. At the left, a wall unit for paper towels. The hose attachment was called their dishwasher! Under the sink is a step ladder stool, without which no 1930s kitchen is complete. Also under the sink is a kitchen bucket used for wet garbage that swung out at a convenient height. In some locations up until the 1960s there was a separate trash and garbage weekly pick-up. Wet garbage was collected and fed to pigs. That was the only public recycling done at homes at the time.
