In small 1940s and 1950s tract houses, having extra pots and pans storage was often more important than having two ovens. Most people don't use a second oven all that often, though it's certainly nice to have one when you want to use one. But in a tiny tract house kitchen with only a few feet of cabinets, that side storage compartment was a big hairy deal.
In 1950, the average new house was only 850 square feet, and a lot of them (like mine!) were smaller than that. Storage was scarce. In the '60s and '70s, average square footage rose to only 1200-1400 square feet or so. Average today for new houses is just over 2500 square feet, so you can have a bigger kitchen with all the cabinets you like. And, of course, two ovens. |
