This listing appears to have a Flair stove in the kitchen that looks in good shape....Markham is suburban Toronto, home of outrageous real estate prices. Pic 12 and 13 http://www.edwinham.com/15BanfieldAvenue/15Banfield.html

And may people in the country kept their wringer washer in the bathroom because the bathtub was used to rinse the clothes.....prior to the family farmhouse getting hydro in 1949 Mom tells me my Grandmother kept her gas powered machine in the shed year round, and heated all the hot water for it...

And laundry rooms were in basements until the 1970s.....such was the case in my parents houses built in 1958, 1962 and 1968.....when we moved to Toronto in 1972 the laundry room was in the back hall on the main floor. All the houses I have owned the laundry was in the basement.....houses built...

Here in Canada top loaders were more the norm....I only recall seeing two front loaders growing up....the McAlpines had a Westinghouse and my Uncle's Mom had a combination which I also believe was a Westinghouse which she prolly got after their farmhouse burned down in 1965 and they moved to...

That button to open the lid reminds me of identical ones on a 1958 Inglis set my Mum had many years ago....1950s gimmachry at its best, but there were not very durable as I recall. The dryer outlasted the washer by ten or so years, but it was very difficult to get the door open and the plastic...

Looks similar to one in HG my mother had 1976-1994; hers was a suds saver.

Range looks similar to a Canadian GE Talisman 850 my mother had from 1976-1994.

My mother had a 1958 Inglis Royale and a 1968 Inglis Sterling with the Surgilator and both foamed pretty heavily at least with the detergents of the day.

Growing up in Toronto it was 1050 CHUM. We used to listen to WABC at night at the cottage east of Montreal.

Foot Pedals GE sure was in love with foot pedals in those days. My parents' first fridge when they moved to their new house in St Lambert in 1958 had a foot pedal to open the door.

My Mum's first dishwasher She bought one of these in 1965 in Edmonton and it was used until 1976 when they bought a built in Kitchen Aid for their house in Toronto. It was given to her cousin who used it for a few years more,

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ctYEAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CS4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3065,2006275&dq=coaticook+observer Kitchen Aid dishwasher ad from the Coaticook Observer dated 15 January 1959. I wonder how many families had $369 burning a whole in their pockets in those days...

Old ad from the Coaticook(Quebec) Observer 7 January 1960 featuring Westinghouse Washer($279) and Dryer($189). That was a lot of money in 1960! Southern Canada Power was one of the forerunners of Hydro Quebec...

We got a GE dishwasher in 1965, a Filter Something or Another. It was a top loader, and there was also a little spray arm under the cutlery basket. It was replaced in 1976 by a built in Kitchen Aid. As for the GE Fridges my parent's first one was a 1958 model much as described here-foot pedal to...
