  • Technology in homes really starts in the 1920s and '30s. Even though indoor plumbing and electricity are invented in the late 19th century, they don't become commonplace in new homes until the Period Revival era. Come here Brent talk about telephones and especially Kitchens. How they change and the historic thinking about how a kitchen should function. Fun Stuff

    My grandmother, born in 1894 in southern Indiana, worked out of her Hoosier Cabinet until 1975 when they sold the farm and moved to town.

      Wow, I bet she has some stories. It is a fascinating company, especially in the 1920's era when it was one of the more important appliances in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

    My dad's house in Groesbeck still didn't have electricity or running water when he left for Vietnam in 1968. We've come a long way.

    I bought a 1920s bungalow style house and everything is built-in and original. A blessing and a curse! 😂 It is still all sturdy and in working condition. I thought it would be so easy to replace the counters and add a new sink and dishwasher, but keep the original charm of the cabinets and built in shelving…. Turns out that nothing is “standard size” and everything requires a specialist of sorts to adjust without ruining. Keep me in your prayers!

    Love your videos. Please don’t say that kitchens didn’t even have cabinets. What IS a Hoosier? A kitchen cabinet unit with both an upper cabinet and a lower cabinet box WITH a countertop! ❤

    Very interesting!
    It’d be nice to see some side by side comparisons of typical cabinet doors between the decades as time went on.
    It’d also help people know what era their kitchen may have been made if it’s not original to the house & stop people from painting over or replacing if they have the knowledge of what’s infront of them.

    Is open shelving for kitchens a new design or has it been around before cabinets?

    • @BrentHull
      @BrentHull  2 года назад +1

      I don't see it in the millwork catalogs so it isn't an historical element that was popular from the 1880's to 1960's.. I think it is a very rustic and rural feature that has been used today in contrast to hanging cabinets. Thanks for the question.

    Interesting evolution. As the kitchen gained cabinets and storage, did they replace pantries (off the kitchen) and China cabinets (in the dining room)?

    • @BrentHull
      @BrentHull  2 года назад

      Quick answer is yes, but I find the pantry is still a desired space in new homes we build today. Certainly the formal china cabinet has changed. THanks.
