Show Recollections of Edison Whitaker, a Grandson Kitchen "As I recall, the kitchen of the Rock House was in the north east corner, with a door to house? possibly 12' south ... the kitchen was small with a table for 4 to 6 places." "The north wall had a screened cooler for settling the evening pans of milk." "I believe they used a wood-burning stove for heat & cooking." Double Trap Doors Immediately outside the entrance were the double trap doors leading to the celler under the house, for storage-including an upright plunger type crock which, by pumping up and down agitated the cream into butter & buttermilk. He (John Mills Whitaker) mentions an outside storage cellar also." Boxed-In Cold Spring "Just beyond the cellar doors was the cold spring-boxed in and used to keep some things like cream cool." Home Modifications Joseph James Whitaker On 1 January 1920, Elizabeth Whitaker sold the home and property to a son, Joseph James Whitaker, a judge in Salt Lake City and an assistant attorney for Salt Lake County. Judge Whitaker added the brick extension, with a garage, bedroom and bathroom. Arthur Fredericksen Arthur Stayner Fredericksen and his wife Grace purchased the home on 3 March 1953. They were the fourth couple to own the home after Elizabeth sold the property. The Fredericksens lived in the home for twenty-six years. They added the kitchen in the eastern ell; remodeled the bathroom and added the interior partitions and upstairs bookcases and drawers. |
