While no longer an historic kitchen, there are a number of interesting historical oddities in the kitchen that have come about because of the multiple expansions of the once modest kitchen wing. Chief among them is a giant beam that hangs from the relatively low kitchen ceiling and a shared chimney on what was once an exterior wall. The original footprint coincides with what is now the boiler room and what was for many decades a workshop in the basement.

The alley facing wall was clapboard from 1973 to 2023 and was a shack-like mismatch. The low, gently sloped quasi-flat roof lacked symmetry with the rest of the house so a parapet wall was constructed to mimic the Montview balcony. Eventually there will be a mechanized louvered roof system on the deck timbers.
