Bucktown
Worker cottages raised over new lower levels, with the kitchen usually on the main floor and the range squeezed into a run that was laid out before anyone chose the appliance.
What a visit here usually involves
These are appliances that have been cooked on hard for years rather than new installs, so the faults are wear rather than commissioning: hinges that have lost tension, seals gone flat along the top edge, valves stiff with age, cavities that have been self-cleaned many times. Door and hinge hardware rides with us on this run for that reason, and a range that needs to come out gets two people rather than a scratched floor.
