High Chaparral Summer Kitchen

The Summer Kitchen is an open-sided lean-to structure on the left side of the ranch house, just beyond the spindle side doors of the Great Room. Towards the back it has a door that connects it directly to the Kitchen. The front of the Summer Kitchen has a fire pit to heat water for laundry and other household uses. Laundry seems to be the most common use for this space, but it is also used for food preparation such as butter churning, and general clean-up. At the back of the Summer Kitchen is a Storeroom that seems to be more of a household pantry than a tack room. It is where the doctor/prisoner is tied up and later the marshal is locked up in "Journal of Death".
