Another timecapsule home--from 1954??

[appnut]

Looks like many of the furnishings are original. The oven is most likely original. I'm guessing it's a Western Holly, but the window on the oven door reminds me of a Norge washer/dryer combo or what was the 20 lbs. front loader in the Norge Cleaning Villages. Cool cabinets in the kitchen, bathroom fixtures, lighting.

Just FYI

I think Bob deleted the OP because a thread on this was started in ATT:

Ralph, that's exactly why I did it. I honestly didn't think anyone had seen this yet. And I don't believe in superfluous duplicate threads. Waste of space and bandwidth. Thank you.

Some of those photos looked real, but some of the photos of the kitchen looked like artist conceptions. Look at the SS oven with the dishtowel hanging from the handle, that's an artist concrption.

While the house is very nice, the furniture screams 1961-62 rather than the 50's.

I agree that there are many '60s elements in the house, but it definitely lends itself to them, and am sure I'd prefer them over whatever original 1954 treatments they replaced.

 

The built-in oven is in fact a '54 Western Holly.  We rented for a few years in a development of the same vintage, and all homes were originally outfitted with the porthole window Western Holly built-in ovens and separate cook tops.  I think the studio type lighting may give the impression of an architectural rendering, but am betting the kitchen views are actual photos.
