My grandparents' house had a back stairway (upstairs hall to kitchen),
a back entrance (into kitchen), and a servant's quarters (finished
third floor). It also had a "canning kitchen" on the second floor,
though I'm not sure that was original to the house. I think their
house was built in the late 1800s.
I really miss that place sometimes.
