Paging BethAnn; hello come in please!

Thermador? Tappan? It's hard to tell, lots of mfrs. had a similar style oven...
That oven looks almost old enough to be a Lectro Host, the same as LH or L&H which stood for Lindermann and Hoverson (SP?) which later sold the ranges, both builtin and free standing, under the Thermador name. It might be a very early Thermador, but it is that family of oven and cooktop. It would be interesting to see if the cooktop still had the big wide TK (Tuttle & Kiff) elements that looked like Frigidaire's Radiantubes.
Greenbelt, MD was the ideally designed Green Town shown in the film "World of Tomorrow" at the General Motors Futurama Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair. When the town was built, the homes came with a 3 element apartment size LH range.

Looks like a Thermador to me too.
I have Pank running out my butt. ( Didn't sound so good huh! )

I like these units, but I really don't need another pink wall oven and cooktop stove.

Hey Tom,
You are absolutely right! I remember seeing these in the row houses where my cousins grew up.They matched them with a Frigidaire Imperial dishwasher and Deluxe Cycle Defrost refrigerator.My aunt Nat already had an old Kelvinator refrigerator and chest freezer but kept the wall oven,cooktop and dishwasher until they wore out.She went and redesigned her kitchen with all 1969 Lady Kenmore appliances in copper and ZBricked the walls!! Seven cousins under 1 roof!! they had a 1956 Westinghouse SpaceMates set in white that lasted till 1966.Then they got a Kenmore set with the sliding cover on the controls.

A J Lindeman and Hoverson
I agree too! That oven is likely an A.J.Lindeman and Hoverson. I worked for a bank years ago. The kitchen was amazingly beautiful but straight out of the 1950s. I mean this kitchen had to be a Youngstown or St.Charles kitchen (but I saw no badge). It was equipped with A.J.Lindeman and Hoverson stainless steel in-wall oven, warming drawer (can ya believe!) and hood. All still worked except the oven which I had fixed. The frig was a newer Philco. Cooktop was a replacement Hotpoint. Dishwasher was gone.
At any rate, we used the oven every Saturday to cook lunch for da staff. Solid as a rock that stuff was. It blew a coil and the repairman put in top and bottom generic calrod kits to fix. He said it was a Thermador although the badge said A.J.Lindeman and Hoverson. That stuff will last forever. I'd give my eye teeth to have that warming drawer back! The calrod kits worked nicely and it was great fun for my boss and I to work in the kitchen on Saturday afternoons. (He was an ex-restaurant owner and got a kick out of it as well). I was just a kid but even then vintage appliances were part of my world. Wouldn't trade a thing even now... Too fun.

what a waste.
what a waste. What a beautiful kitchen.
Wait, let me guess it's gonna be replaced with cherry cabinets, black granite, and a stainless steel stove!
Just like is so common.
No issues if this is what somebody really likes but how many people do their kichens only because it is what advertising tells them they HAVE to do?
(We're redoing ours with thermofoil cabinets, laminate counter tops and a fairly normal electric range..okay, it has a convection oven and a meat probe and 3 of the 4 top burners are dual element, but it is WHITE and did not cost 10,000 ... barely cost 1/10 of that. We like what we're doing and we aren't spending 150,000 on it. If you can spend that much, cool, but we can't).
Not trying to be offensive, because what I've expressed frustration with is a perfectly wonderful choice, but why do so many seem to do things just because everyone else does them that way?

Nate, I agree. That's a beautiful and functional kitchen as is, although pink is NOT my shade, not even remotely, and at the very least I'd want to replace the built-in's with something of similar vintage in a different color like yellow or turquoise. One would hope that they will carefully demo things so that someone looking to do a retro kitchen can put parts of this one back into use.
