Kitchen Remodel in Walker

From Township Land to a City Incorporated in 1962

Walker Township organized December 30, 1837 as Kent County's second township, covering land north of the Grand River first settled by Samuel and Lydia White; the City of Walker wasn't incorporated until November 8, 1962, following renewed pressure to annex its industrial areas.

Kitchens Built to Early-1960s Standards

A kitchen in one of Walker's homes from that 1962 incorporation-era build-out was typically laid out for a smaller, more closed-off cooking space than most households expect today, a byproduct of the concentrated construction that followed incorporation.

Opening up a Walker kitchen from that era usually means working around a floor plan sized for 1960s expectations, not current ones.
