The kitchen and laundry structure is a two-and-a-half-story structure located west of the main building.^[18][236] It is made of a steel frame and terracotta blocks, with a granite base and a facade of brick in Flemish bond.^[123] Originally designed as two separate structures, it was redesigned in 1899 as a single structure with kitchen-restaurant and laundry-bathhouse components,^[249] and was subsequently completed in 1901.^[122][123] A one-and-a-half-story ice plant on the northern elevation was built between 1903 and 1908, and was converted into a ticket office in 1935. It has a facade of brick in English and stretcher bond.^[123] Today, the kitchen and laundry contains NPS offices^[250] as well as the museum's Peopling of America exhibit.^[251]
The building has a central portion with a narrow gable roof, as well as pavilions on the western and eastern sides with hip roofs; the roof tiling was formerly of slate and currently of terracotta. The larger eastern pavilion, which contained the laundry-bathhouse, had hipped dormers. The exterior-facing window and door openings contain limestone features on the facade, while the top of the building has a modillioned copper cornice. Formerly, there was also a two-story porch on the southern elevation. Multiple enclosed passageways connect the kitchen and laundry to adjacent structures.^[123]
Bakery and carpentry shop
The bakery and carpentry shop is a two-story structure located west of the kitchen and laundry building. It is roughly rectangular and oriented north-south.^[18][236] It is made of a steel frame with a granite base, a flat roof, and a facade of brick in Flemish bond. The building was constructed in 1914-1915 to replace the separate wooden bakery and carpentry shop buildings, as well as two sheds and a frame waiting room. There are no exterior entrances, and the only access is via the kitchen and laundry.^[252][253] The first floor generally contained oven rooms, baking areas and storage while the second floor contained the carpentry shop.^[253]
