The original servant kitchen was replaced by the kitchen and pantry saved from the 1882 Richard B. Knapp mansion, which was dismantled in the 1950s. The entire intact kitchen, which includes cabinetry and round stained-glass windows, was profiled in a column by New York Times' food editor and restaurant critic Craig Claibourne and photos of it appeared in the Northwest volume of the Time-Life cookbook series. When the mansion was being restored, the owners also made the kitchen more functional by moving a small copper sink into a powder room and installing a double sink in the center of granite counters. They also added an eight-burner Viking stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator and stainless-steel counters. Custom hardware was made to match the existing brass drawer pulls and hinges, and a ladder made of matching wood is used to access high cupboards.
