Stove donated when Sherry Jones was director. From the home of Dr. Margaret "Billie" Fastle, 615 3rd Avenue NE, Waseca, MN. The Insulated Glenwood was very modern for its day. Known as a sidestep stove, this kitchen range was one of the first to bring the oven up in the design so the cook wouldn't have to bend over to load and unload the food. The gas range features four good-sized burners, an insulated oven and a broiler. Ample storage space below the burners, a spice shelf on top and a couple of places to hang towels or potholders adds to the function and efficiency of this stove. The Insulated Glenwood Retro kitchen range is a stylish stove that makes cooking easy and convenient.Cataloged By
