I guess that would work out for the fridge then to be tucked into that nook. <BR/><BR/>Is the angled door in the far right corner to a snall pantry or does it go into a basement?

I wanted to see if there was room to walk around me with the oven door down. That is a problem in many homes. Once you open the fridge or oven door, you block the path for others who are working in the kitchen or who must pass through.

We have several new neighborhoods in our area that are entirely 1900-1920's style, with the pillars, wide porches, plenty of windows, wood floors, and so on.

I'm sure it was built in the '20s or maybe even earlier.
