Right inside the front door is a room bursting at the seams with heating stoves. As you turn your head, each style makes itself known. The ornate and basic, large and small, each surround you as you take it all in like an antique car show. In the winter months, you'll smell the slight comforting trace of burning wood as one of the Cylinder Stoves keeps the building warm from the corner of this room.
These Box stoves, up on the ledge, are the elders. They go back to the 1700's. They're small and simple. Made for small spaces.
Potbelly Stoves were some of the most common and most useful stoves in history. They're simple and can hold a good amount of wood or coal.
Parlor Stoves were also common. Very useful and generally pretty fancy too. You can fit plenty of wood inside these stoves and they look like a fine piece of furniture.
Franklin Stoves are the ones that look like fireplaces. If you want a fireplace, but don't want to build a whole new house, Ben Franklin has your solution.
