A kitchen built circa 1825 in Batesburg-Leesville by planter Joel Ridgell (1798-1870), whose second wife was a sister of John Fox, is almost identical to the kitchen that originally stood here from 1832 until it was demolished circa 1920. Each kitchen served around 30 persons, including the family and their household slaves. The kitchen was detached from the main house because of heat, noise, and danger of fire.
