Electric Stove:

An electric stove would have been a very uncommon thing for a family to own in the 1930s. The fact that this family had an electric stove meant that they would have been able to afford luxuries that most families would not have been able to afford. Not only did this family have an electric stove, they also had a woodburning stove. This would have provided comfort  all year around. In the summer the electric stove would not make the place too hot and in the winter the woodburning stove would have been used to heat the house as well as to make dinner. Can you imagine having two stoves in your kitchen? Luckily they had a pretty big house!
