Now I know a vintage kitchen is not for everyone but it suits me the wallpaper cabinets and floor are just like they were the stove is a 65 Frigidaire I added plumbing so I can put my Kitchen Aid Custom 21 portable beside the range. My Westinghouse stove is going in the laundry room which is thru the door beside the stove

Beautiful kitchen....

I really like the original cabinetry and the little shelves on either side of the sink. I have a very similar kitchen in my house, right down to the glass cabinet pulls. I think I spy a flour bin on the far left when facing the windows - I have it in the same place even. Do you have a built in ironing board on the wall opposite the sink?

My guess would be a mid 1930's build

Congratulations on your new kitchen :)
 
The old house

we lived in when I was in the first grade in Detroit had kitchen cabinets like yours. They had turn latches though. You pay a lot today for solid wood cabinets to the ceiling.
I've not seen a hi-fi like yours before either. Some 60's Delco car radios had a reverb. Is it like a multiplex simulator without a separate channel amplifier?
 
Wow, Hans, I don't blame you for not wanting to change the kitchen.  I love the layout and the cabinets!!

 

I am curious about something - is that an electric baseboard heater behind the range?  If it is, you should make sure it's off so that you don't bake the range wiring and the dishwasher plumbing! 

 
 
Congratulations Hans and Donald! That is a really great old fashioned kitchen, just the kind that a buyer on House Hunters would do a “complete gut job on”, and what a shame that would be!

When David and I were first married we lived in a little Craftsman bungelow that I believe was a Sears Roebuck house, the kind that was delivered to the train station and the buyer would put it together on their lot.

The sink area in this kitchen was very much like yours, only ours still had the original wood drainboard and counter, and the cabinets hadn’t been painted. But other than that its like de ju vous, especially the placement of the windows over the sink. I know that you will do justice to this wondeful treasure of history.

Re kitchen details

The baseboard heaters thruout the house are hot water, they have not been used in several years as he put in a new gas furnace and central ac, the vent beside the stove was for the new system, I took it loose and installed a new vent, because my dishwasher is going to set where it is, I cant figure out why they put a baseboard heatpanel behind the stove?? The boiler was removed years ago but I decided to leave the baseboard stuff intact in case I wanted to use it again down the road..
 
Re Reverberation...

The reverb sends the right channel signal thru a set of springs, just like a screen door spring,this delays the signal,similar to the setup Hammond organs used with the PR-40 tone cabinet,
 
Wow! That kitchen is awesome. We had a kitchen like that in the early 70's when we lived in San Francisco in a flat. Good idea how you are setting up the DW. The library is so much what we would like to do. Enjoy every minute of being there and the memories this house brings with it. Dano
