Description
The Pennsylvania countryside has many old stone farmhouses reflecting nostalgic charm with spring houses, smoke houses and summer kitchens made of the same field stone used in construction of the homes. Before the days of central air conditioning and refrigeration,spring houses provided water for the home and kept perishable foods cool. Summer kitchens provided a place to cook meals without adding heat or smoke to the home, and smokehouses provided a way of preserving meat supplies. Today these small buildings add a quaint charm to the old farmhouses, and a remembrance of another era.

My grandfather was raised around Lancaster, PA, and I have never forgotten how lovely it was when he took me there. You have truly captured the feeling!
