Title:
Everson Hall, Unit Kitchens, Home Economics Building. Two of the many unit kitchens in the
new Home Economics Building on the Davis campus of the University of California. They are used for
beginning foods study and meal preparation courses. Each unit, a complete kitchen in itself, is
different. Some have gas ranges, and others are equipped with electric ranges. One has an electric
dishwasher and two have garbage disposal machines. These units will also be used by students in
home management courses to study the various possible kitchen arrangements, work spaces, and the
different kinds of equipment. Some are equipped with aluminum utensils; others with all glass; and
the remainder stainless steel. The unit on the right, not yet equipped with stove, is the
"two-wall" arrangement with tile drainboard and work tops, and painted wood cabinets. The center
unit, with electric range, is also steel, with "in-line" sink, stove, and work space. The L-shaped
unit at left is of natural finish birch with formica top for drainboard and work space.
