Old Fashioned Kitchen

My photo club did something very San Diego Touristy this month -- well, nothing unusual there, really. This time though, it was more about what was San Diego like 100 years ago rather than what's new today. We started our downtown Gaslamp tour at the William Heath Davis House, which is the oldest surviving structure from what was "New Town" over 150 years ago. It was originally built in 1850 and now stands as a museum, and the starting point for a tour of the Gaslamp District and beyond.

This photo is of course, of their kitchen, equipped as one might expect to see it 100 years ago or so. OK, maybe back then there wasn't a photo on the stove, but let your mind wander to the past -- and your mouse to the title above and click. See some of the photos taken not only by me, but by the Photo Club of which I am a member.

If you're ever in the downtown area on a sunny afternoon and you want to kill a couple hours, I highly recommend checking out the tour, starting at the William Heath Davis House and run by the San Diego Historical Society.
