Abstract
Installed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1928, the kitchen from the 1752 Müller House in Millbach, Lebanon County, was the earliest and arguably the finest colonial Pennsylvania German interior in any American museum. The woodwork of this room—fireplace mantel, staircase, and doors—as well as its ironwork provide a dramatic illustration of the transfer of the German baroque style to America by the first generation of immigrant clients and craftsmen. Due to subsequent changes to the house and kitchen, director Fiske Kimball made certain compromises in the kitchen’s installation in an attempt to recreate its original appearance.
