An early American keeping room is a multi-purpose room, living, dining and kitchen combined. The term 'keeping' derives from 'Where are you keeping' i.e. living. This term was supposedly in particular use in Cambridgeshire where many of the Massachusetts Puritans originated. There is fine example of a keeping room in USA Museum, Claverton Manor, Bath, Somerset UK. This is where I learnt the meaning of Keeping Room.
