"Capturing the Heart of Home: Kitchen Ranges Through Time" Step into a bygone era with these captivating glimpses into kitchen ranges from different parts of the world. In 1939, Dorothea Lange's lens transports us to West Stayton, Marion County, Oregon, where a group of bean pickers tents stand tall against the backdrop of nature's beauty. Among them is one tent that serves as a humble kitchen range for fourteen hardworking individuals. Venturing further into Dead Ox Flat, Oregon, we find Mrs. Wardlow baking cornbread in her dugout basement home. The aroma fills the air as she skillfully tends to her stove outside the Browning house – preparing it for winter use in 1939. Moving eastward to Mulheur County, Oregon, Lange captures an unfinished Soper kitchen in Willow Creek area. Its bare bones reveal potential and promise amidst its rustic charm. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wardlow takes us inside her basement after church – bustling about as she prepares dinner on yet another day at Dead Ox Flat in 1939. Lange's lens then turns towards another corner of the Soper kitchen – showcasing its simplicity and functionality within Malheur County's landscape. Transitioning to c. 1940 with David Ramage's photograph titled "Kitchen Range, " we witness how this essential appliance has evolved over time while remaining central to our culinary endeavors. Edward L Loper adds his touch with "Griddlecake Turner and Fork" from c. 1937 - reminding us of cherished moments spent flipping pancakes on cozy Sunday mornings. Stepping away from America's shores momentarily brings us closer to London in earlier decades; R. W Symonds' design expertise shines through a stylishly modernized kitchen created in 1938 while Mrs. Darcy Braddell leaves her mark on a farmhouse kitchen redesigned with elegance and practicality in mind back in 1936.
