The O’Neil Home Collection: Kitchen and Dining area

I have had the pleasure of spending some quality time with Marg and Larry O’Neil, both at their stunning residence in Tacoma, WA and at their meticulously curated pole barn private cast iron museum situated on farmland in the outskirts of Tacoma. Every visit to the collection is a journey of discovery, as I continue to learn more and see more; it feels like the collection goes on endlessly. There is a widespread belief that Larry and Marg’s collection of vintage and antique cast iron is the largest of them all.

I made twelve videos of their collection. Here are three, showing their kitchen and dining room. These videos don’t touch on the rooms adjacent to the kitchen and dining room, or the upper-level bathroom. Yes, I said the bathroom. There, a Griswold burner has been converted into a towel holder. 

Marg told me that she originally told Larry that he couldn’t bring the cast iron into the house. Then, she said he could only have it in the basement. Before you knew it, however…

Just wait ’til you see the basement and the museum!

You can also see all of the videos (12!) on my YouTube channel.

Now that you’ve feasted your eyes on this small sampling of their collection, get ready for the basement of the house!
