Many years ago, before patios, decks and patio furniture became popular, the
main outdoor furniture was an old rocker on the front porch or some old kitchen
chairs that were left outside.
It was generally accepted practice to move out to the front porch after dinner in
the summer time, because the house was already warm from the summer sun, then the
wood cook stove had to be fired up to fix the evening meal, making it even
warmer.
Although the wood stove warmed the house during meal times and made it
uncomfortably hot during the summer, there were some advantages of the wood cook
stove. Taking baths in a washtub in front of the wood stove during the winter is
one of the joys back before central heat or individually heated rooms.
The front porch became an extension of the living room, or parlor as it was more
commonly known.
As time went on the furniture comfort on the porch improved and more types of
outdoor furniture were used. Wicker was a popular furniture for the front porch
and was quite often left out all year round. Porch swings became almost as common
as the large porches were and metal furniture moved from the veranda of the
wealthy to the front porches of the middle class.
The kitchen chairs were most comfortably sat on when they were leaned back
against a wall, because until early in the last century chair backs were totally
straight up and down.
