How American Kitchens Have Changed Over the Years

Like the 1910s, 1920s homeowners still used free-standing appliances in their kitchen. And since the stoves of this era were bulkier, they took up a lot of space and limited counter space to cut vegetables and prepare food. But there was a silver lining as built-in sinks and cabinets started making their appearances. Generally speaking, however, not all Americans could afford to upgrade their furniture from free-standing to built-in.
