Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse

Last updated

Duparquet, Huot & Moneuse, Co. was a kitchen equipment manufacturer that was founded in 1852. Early in its existence, its address was 43 & 45 Wooster Street in New York City. [1] It had a factory in SoHo, and it had sales offices in Boston, Chicago, and the U.S. capital. The company specialized in commercial stoves, which were sold to passenger ships, hospitals and prisons, but it also sold paraphernalia such as knives, pans, sieves and all kinds of kitchen utensils. [2] In 1905, following a workers' strike at its New York factory, the company lowered the workweek to 50 hours. [3] By 1907, it proclaimed itself a manufacturer of "Imperial French Ranges and High Grade Cooking Apparatus", as well as a general kitchen outfitter. [4]

Duparquet made a stove for Delmonico's; [5] the kitchen of the Otesaga was furnished by Duparquet, [6] as was that of The Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. [7]

Among private owners, Jay Gould's mansion had a Duparquet from the 1880s, [8] and Woodrow Wilson's retirement home had a coal-fired one which was used by the servants. [9] Frederick William Vanderbilt bought a Duparquet range with a cooking surface measuring 9' x 3'4" for $400 in 1898 for his country house in Hyde Park, [10] as did R. J. Reynolds for the house in Winston-Salem he built in 1917. [11]

As late as 1933–1934, Duparquet provided maintenance and remodelation to the kitchen and lunchroom of the Frick. [12] The company went bankrupt in 1936; [13] a new concern re-registered the trademark in 2008. [14]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gas stove</span> Type of cooking stove

A gas stove is a stove that is fuelled by combustible gas such as natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas, syngas, or other flammable gas. Before the advent of gas, cooking stoves relied on solid fuels such as coal or wood. The first gas stoves were developed in the 1820s and a gas stove factory was established in England in 1836. This new cooking technology had the advantage of being easily adjustable and could be turned off when not in use. The gas stove, however, did not become a commercial success until the 1880s, by which time supplies of piped gas were available in cities and large towns in Britain. The stoves became widespread on the European Continent and in the United States in the early 20th century.
