Something bugs me about this picture, well more than one thing, but most obviously, they show an air conditioner over the refrigerator, both of which are flush with the interior wall. Think of the depth of both appliances. Either a bumpout shed was built for the refrigerator or the air conditioner is recessed so deeply in the outside wall that it has no hope of getting enough ventilation to operate properly.

Just what kind of GE AC is this?They mention another similar AC unit in the Turquoise kitchen in the lower picture.Are these units some kind of wall mount or thru the wall units like in motels?Or is the unit actually an "air handler"that works with a central unit?Just don't understand these units.Or is this a completely separate unit just for the kitchen since kitchens are considered the greatest heat loading on the AC unit.

I'm thinking these may be through-the-wall units because of the flush interior mounting.
What's going on?
I don't see any images or links, but the previous posters oviously do...

Hi Tom,
I think the refrigerator in the first picture is just an illusion of it being flush with the interior wall. You just can't see the top of the fridge. Notice the fridge door is flush with the cabinet. The cabinet sticks out from the wall.
On the second picture I was always curious of what was to the right of the refrigerator? Is is a top mount freezer fridge? Or another freezer? I could never figure that one out.

To me the AC looks like a Chrysler Airtemp..but im sure GE would have used something they made, but I never saw such an animal!

The AC unit was an early form of GE's Thinline line. It was not actually a large enough AC unit for a kitchen because these units ran about 8 or 9,000BTUs, but it was not a deep unit. These were often in motel rooms in the 50s and early 60s. I think they were sized for nightime use because the room would not be really cool if you were in it during the day. I will give you that there might be certain liberties taken with the sight lines, but I have a regular refrigerator set into cabinets and the cabinet above the box is very deep, like you have to be standing on a step stool and have long arms to reach the back of it deep, so I question the positioning of the air conditioner.
In the turquoise kitchen, that is an upright freezer next to the fridge. See the lock about midway up the door on the left side? The door handle is high to keep crumb crunchers out.
