National parks: Kitchen - public domain image

Fort Vancouver. The kitchen, originally built in 1837-1838 and reconstructed in 1976, is located to the back of the Chief Factor's House. It is connected to the main house by a short, enclosed passageway, which was not based on historic evidence. The kitchen is a one and one-half story, rectangular building with a gable roof, central brick chimney, and a covered porch.

This is one of the buildings concentrated within the stockade walls of the fort, which served as the hub of the HBC's business activities.
