Stove
The Walker and Pratt stove was installed in the kitchen at the Phillips House at 34 Chestnut Street in Salem, Massachusetts around 1880. The stove was used until Stephen Willard Phillips' death in 1955. The unit is encased in a brick wall and features a warming oven, two roasting ovens, and six burners. Other objects in the Phillips kitchen were made for use on the coal stove, such as cast iron pots that fit into the burner when their covers were removed.
