WHAT DOES INGLENOOK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

inglenook

Inglenook

An inglenook, or chimney corner, is a small recess that adjoins a fireplace. The word is formed with ingle, meaning "fireplace" in Old English, and nook. Inglenooks originated as a partially enclosed hearth area, appended to a larger room. The hearth was used for cooking and its enclosing alcove became a natural place for people seeking warmth to gather. With changes in building design, kitchens became separate rooms, while inglenooks were retained in the living space as intimate warming places, subsidiary spaces within larger rooms. Inglenooks were prominent features of shingle style architecture, but began to disappear with the advent of central heating. Prominent American architects who employed the feature included Henry Hobson Richardson, Greene and Greene and Frank Lloyd Wright. British architect Richard Norman Shaw was a significant influence on Richardson.
