Detached Cookhouse

History
3
Before the 1930's, cookhouses were often built as separate structures from the main family dwelling because kitchens of that day posed a fire hazard. If a fire broke out in the kitchen, it could be contained there without endangering the rest of the house. This cookhouse originally stood on Lawrenceville Street, adjacent to the courthouse in McDonough.
