Help ID this stove

>Almost the saddest thing is someone might actually keep the kitchen thinking that it was a great design, LOL.

The really bad part to my eyes is the "brickwork." Perhaps leave the kitchen alone, and just tell people: "Whatever you do, don't look up!!!!"

Sam,

Yes, it's a Westinghouse! Looks like a 1962-64 vintage. I have a 30" version of this range- which is one of the best I ever used.

re; capresi with balsamic

usually has basil leaves with the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

Westinghouse pros and cons

1) Best temp. regulated ovens on earth. You can back anything in one and it will come out exactly like the picture in the cookbook.

2) Infinite regulators for the Corox elements sometimes have L₁ and L₂reversed, so when you replace them, you have to check for that or bye-bye pilot lamps.

3) Westinghouse enamel is better than GE but still subject to damage from acids like lemon left on the surface overnight.

 

I really, really like vintage Westinghouse stoves. I'd go for it, should you get the chance.

Good to know these are quality ranges.
If I have a chance I may go for it, only thing I'm not crazy about is the burners not being clustered together in the left like GE and Frigidaire as I count on that extra area as needed counter space

Sam, if you do get this range and if you ever need the plug-in style of Corox burners let me know.  I have a set (3 of the 6-inch ones and 1 of the 8-inch burners) that I'd like to find a new home for.

I am almost positive thats brick wall paper. Not Z brick.... I've seen that done before and i can't imagine hanging even z brick up on a soffit like that.. too heavy

I'd take the kitchen and put it down stairs and make it a second kitchen... Look better with the green and white tile and so forth...

That frigidaire refrigerator would find a poor family who needed a basic cooling appliance..The stove would be saved and i'd find a nice 70s GE SxS for down stairs, along with a portable KA

Upstairs would be like the 4th picture... Set of Black GE Profile Double Ovens, 36" Bosch or Ge profile COoktop (do love bosck cooktops), Black GE Dishwasher, GE Profile OTR Convection oven and a good, slightly used 2005ish to 2010ish Black Whirlpool/Kenmore Side by side with Ice in the freezer and manual controls.. And yes, I would have black and red speck solid surface and a deep single bowl stainless sink

BTW I love that house... That would be perfect for us

It could be Z-Brick on the soffit, as the "bricks" contain vermiculite which results in a lighter weight product than thin brick (fired clay) veneer.

I personally have never thought they really looked much like true brick, though.
One of my relatives had them in their family room, and even as a child I knew they weren't real. There are other companies that make a thin version of real clay brick, that look just like full thickness masonry.

Another option, which was used on a bank a few blocks from me, is a stucco finish made to look like brick. I have to say it's very convincing until you get very close. It was applied over a styrofoam base, so is not as durable as real masonry, though it seems to be holding up well.

The link has lots of info about Z-Brick, from the manufacturer.

Another local listing has a nice Hotpoint, I'm assuming late 70s as it doesn't have the outlets in it
That home also has a nice looking metal

and what looks

to be a "Youngstown" steel kitchen.
Folks down around the area of Brownsville, Crucible, etc. and near there are salt of the earth. They either don't care about updating, or couldn't afford to. They enjoy the simple things in life. Many emigrated from Europe to work in the coal mines and steel mills. My grandfather hailed from that area back early last century. One brother stayed, and to my knowledge, most of his kids and grandkids may still live there. At least when we did the geneology study back in the early 90's they still were.
