Description: Karen Abbott describes how her mother captured her grandmother’s kitchen in her house in Georgetown at 27 and N St. Karen believes the two children may be her mother and her brother, making the woman standing by the stove her grandmother, and the man in the chair her grandfather. Karen shares her own memories of this kitchen, where she was bathed in the old washtub. “Georgetown was home,” Karen states, and her mother was devastated when her grandmother sold the house in the 1950s, one sale of many prompted by and part of the neighborhood’s gentrification.
