Colonial Kitchen in the Newark Museum
The room in which the kitchen was built at the Newark Museum is about 31′ × 75′. One carpenter, with very little assistance, constructed the kitchen in a few days. A house-painter painted it in about two days. Its total cost, ready for furniture, was not over one hundred and seventy-five dollars.
