The O’Neil Home Collection: Kitchen and Dining area

I’ve spent some time with Marg and Larry O’Neil both at their beautiful home in Tacoma WA, and their chock-full pole barn private cast iron museum located on farmland in the outskirts of Tacoma. Each time I see the collection, I learn more and see more; the collection seems to be never-ending. Some people believe that Larry and Marg have the largest of all of the collections of vintage and antique cast iron. I don’t know, but I do know that they have a lot of iron!

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!
