Hi all! I had some questions about a ‘dry sink’. A dry sink is simply a place used to hold dirty dishes and a wash pan filled with water in order to wash the dishes. It is usually a free-standing piece of furniture that is not hooked up to a water supply or drain. It was used quite often during the 19th century in the United States. (this is a photo from my Koch Cabin post). Thanks to everyone for visiting, asking questions and leaving wonderful comments. I really appreciate you sharing your time with me!
Hmmm interesting. Very innovative back in the day. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel so spoiled. All I could think of was how I would hate to not have running water.
ReplyDeleteNeat picture. Very rustic yet their sink and chairs are such bright, pretty colors. I wonder if they were like that back then.
I can't imagine having to do dishes that way! I've heard of dry sinks, but that's the first time I've seen what one actually looks like.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of them, but I guessed that was what it was for! Thanks for the explanation!
