The average kitchen in the early 1920s might or might not have running water, depending on where they lived. An icebox was still the most common form of refrigeration, and a wood or coal stove wasn't unusual even at that time. Cabinets were still something new in a kitchen. It was commonplace to have some open shelves, and if the area under the sink was closed, it was just as likely to be a curtain as a door.
