Heating Stoves
Right inside the front door is a room bursting at the
seams with heating stoves. As you turn your head, each style makes itself
known. The ornate and basic, large and small, each surround you as you
take it all in like an antique car show. In the winter months, you'll
smell the slight comforting trace of burning wood as one of the Cylinder
Stoves keeps the building warm from the corner of this room.
These Box stoves, up on the ledge, are
the elders. They go back to the 1700's. They're small and simple. Made
for small spaces.
Potbelly Stoves were some of the most common and most
useful stoves in history. They're simple and can hold a good amount
of wood or coal.
Parlor Stoves were also common.
Very useful and generally pretty fancy too. You can fit plenty
of wood inside these stoves and they look like a fine piece of
furniture. |
Lets not forget 4 O'clock stoves. These are small ornate parlor stoves, mostly made for heating one room.
 |
Cylinder Stoves and Base Burners are found all over the room. These are comparable in size to the potbellys, but are usually more decorative and often nickel clad.
