Tenant Quarters
Ohio History
McCormick Kitchen
Doesn’t this room look out of place on the Adena estate? It's an example of the tenant houses occupied by farm workers. The quarters were very modest--only two rooms and an upstairs. This one belonged to George McCormick, the resident cabinet-maker, who did all the woodworking in the Worthington home. He did an excellent job, as we saw several of his tables, bureaus, sideboards, and clock cases still in the mansion.

Imagine having your own resident cabinet-maker. Why not?

I wonder why Mr. Worthington needed such an extravagant place to live if his cabinet-maker could get along with such a simple house.
That would be nice being a resident cabinet-maker.
Are those molds for making candles hanging on the wall?
Wow, I'd much rather live there than in that huge mansion.
Yes, I think those are candle molds, although candles were usually made by dipping wicks into the wax, not pouring it into molds.
