Resources, both primary and secondary, on early 20th-century kitchen and house design were reviewed, as well as some late 19th-century resources (for their potential influence). Sustainability and green design resources were also looked at, including USGBC guidelines for green remodeling. The thesis includes floor plans and elevations, both existing and proposed, of the thesis site's first floor and kitchen renovation. A design synopsis with brief material and product selections is also given.Historic Preservation and ConservationDissertation/Thesis
