(and fire boxes), upper oven and lower oven, and warming drawer. Grey-blue and white enamel finish in excellent condition. Manufactured by Bridge Beach & Co. St. Louis (Model #888). The manufacturer dates to 1838 and is one of the first foundries West of the Mississippi (more info

). A true piece of Midwestern history.
This rare fixture was lovingly cared for and used for decades as the primary
stove
in a Victorian home in Evanston, IL until we acquired the home in early 2020. It is in full working order including gas hook up. Overall, it is in very good condition, though a few small areas could use a little degreasing and de-rusting. The
stove
is currently in our garage. Upper and lower segments detach with just a few screws for moving, but the base is very heavy and will require movers with some know how.
Width of cooking surface is ~42.” Total height 63”, and height to cooking surface is 32.” Depth is ~31 or 32” including recessed upper oven, 26.25” deep for rest of the unit. Front gas knobs extend the depth an additional 2.5” inches. Happy to provide more details or precise dimensions.
