Stand-alone kitchen cabinets made of wood were manufactured in the United States about 1900-1940 by companies in the country's mid-west area. Boon, Hoosier, Kitchen Maid, McDougall, Napamee, Sellers and Wilson had catalogs and sales forces to promote their cabinet styles. This book includes catalog pages and color photos of existing models with detailed descriptions, dates, model numbers and values at today's market. Readers will learn to identify these cabinets and their variations.
Loaded with labor- and time-saving conveniences, the Hoosier cabinet was among the earliest design innovations of the modern American kitchen. This culinary workstation allowed owners to maintain an efficient and clutter-free kitchen by centralizing utensils, cookware, tools, and ingredients, while providing a space in which to prepare the meals of the day. Bloomington-based cabinetmaker Nancy R. Hiller draws on her years of specialty cabinet making and thorough knowledge of interior design to deliver an entertaining, beautiful, and informative history of the Hoosier cabinet-revealing its influence on the development of the contemporary American home. Illustrated with original manufacturers' advertisements and sales literature-some of which is previously unpublished-as well as color and black-and-white photos, this long-overdue book on an icon of the early twentieth-century kitchen will be an invaluable resource to cabinetmakers, antiques enthusiasts, and homeowners planning a period-inspired kitchen.
