In the current location, the Kitchen porch connects to the rear corner of the house porch forming an L- shape. The building consists of only two rooms, kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen opens to the porch via two pairs of half-glass, single panel doors facing the rear of the Henri Penne house and outhouse.

The original Henri Penne house brick floored Kitchen remains on the grounds of Albania plantation in Jeanerette. The present Kitchen, constructed around 1927, is connected to the rear of the house by an L-shaped porch and was relocated from the same site as the Henri Penne house outside Jeanerette.
