The small freezer is big enough for a little ice cream and some Birds Eye frozen peas... the only two frozen foods available in the 1940s. From here you can see the small lower window that opens out onto the herb planter. The other feature to notice is that all the cabinets open facing the natural light so as to minimize the need for electric lights. Most people think everything in this room seems quite low. Though the cabinets are a little lower than normal, one of the reasons it feels a lot lower is that the ceilings are almost 12' high. www.peterbeers.net/interests/flw_rt/Virginia/Pope_Leig‹›
