From Butler's Pantry to Kitchen

The kitchen - in the afternoon when guests arrive, it's usually a quiet, peaceful place, and tea and coffee sachets are on the counter next to the cookie jar. But early in the morning, it's a hub of activity and the source of delicious aromas wafting up the stairs, inviting the guests to a gourmet breakfast.

The Kitchen at Dreams

Life was a little different in 1901. The family probably ate most meals in the formal dining room. The meal was served by employees, and the kitchen was in the basement. Where the modern-day kitchen is, used to be a small butler's pantry.

In the 1970s the kitchen was remodeled.  The wall adjoining the dining room was moved, opening up the more spacious galley-style kitchen that is here today.
