I was touring an incredible mid-mod home in Dearborn, Michigan last night that was built on a heated slab. Since there was no basement, I was wondering where the washer and utilities were located. We discovered, after opening a wall that had a couple of hidden panels on it, that the washer (no dryer) and hot water tank were located behind it. There was this old Whirlpool there - obviously hadn't been touched in many years. The house was built in 1950, so I'm suspecting the washer is of that vintage? I thought I'd leave that to you experts.

Wow! Looks neat. I like the low profile design, and curved edges. Really streamlined! Any vacuums in that house? :D | ||

To answer some of the questions asked:
Yes- I'm sure if someone wanted this washer the owner would sell it. She is selling everything in the place. There were no vacuums there - there may have been earlier, much of the stuff was already sold including a set of 1951 Hotpoint fridge and 40 inch range. I managed to pick up a Ward's Airline Hi-Fi in working order and an old Remington typewriter and some other odds and ends. The man who lived there was 90 and worked for Ford. The place was filled with a lot of Danish modern and mid-century furniture, much of it walnut. It was a fun house to go through. I figured you guys would be able to tell me more about this old beauty - I hope it ends up in a good home. | ||
