- Magnolia Air-Tight Parlor Stove, 1854-1858 - Stoves were more efficient than open fireplaces--they used less fuel and heated rooms more effectively. By the 1840s, stove-making had become a big industry, as new manufacturing techniques made stoves stronger, lighter, and less expensive. Style mattered. People wanted their stoves to be eye-catching, as well as useful. The neighboring cities of Troy and Albany, New York, were America's "stove capitals" from 1830 to 1870.

- Parlor Stove, 1886 - This heating stove was intended to blend with furnishings made in the Victorian Aesthetic Movement. Aesthetic designers sought to transform Victorian taste away from popular revival styles toward something new and elegant. There was no single Aesthetic style, rather a common set of design motifs, including stylized botanical forms, and an interest in elegant decorative tiles, which appear on this stove.

- Borg-Warner "Norge" Cookstove, 1935-1945 - This sleek range hid its technology behind a smooth porcelain enamel cabinet. Four surface burners could be covered when not in use, while doors neatly concealed the oven, warming oven, and broiler. By the mid-1930s, ranges like this one--lacking tall legs and with a stovetop designed to fit alongside built-in cupboards with continuous countertops--took their place in the standardized, modern kitchens of the era.
