How many people contribute to your dinner experiences today? Who works behind the scenes to make it all possible? The work of artisans and craftspeople made the Heurich family’s Thanksgiving experience - and all family dinners - possible.

Their dining room furniture - including their expandable table,18 hand-carved oak chairs, and intricate sideboards - were handcrafted by German immigrant artisan August Grass and cabinetmakers from his shop.

The ornate overhead chandelier is nickel-plated bronze - likely made by brass founders or silver workers. Glass works operatives and engravers would have crafted its 12 etched glass shades. There are also porcelain candle-like gas jets, which were typically made by potters.

Installing the parquet floor required the work of carpenters like joiners and painters or varnishers for finishing. Carpenters and joiners would have built and installed the pocket doors. Carpet makers, woolen mill operatives, and dyers would have created the rug that sat under the table.

Making utensils, tableware, and stemware would have likely needed the work of potters, gilders or engravers, iron works and glass works operatives, and gold and silver workers.

Pattern workers and designers played a role throughout the process.

It is also important to acknowledge the labor of many others who contributed to this experience - including household staff who prepared and served the meals, Amelia who planned meals and shopped for food, and Christian and the workers at his Brewery who made it financially possible to build the home.

The list can expand further to include farmers and planters, agricultural laborers, stock-raisers, butchers, packers, and traders and dealers in livestock and produce.
