I grew up in one of those official Medallion Homes... The kitchen was completely outfitted with Turquoise Gaffer & Satler builders' appliances--including the infamous D&M model 410 dishwasher. I still have the wall oven. I also dig that thin tie from the first pic. | ||

Lawrence, the 1961 kitchen I essentially grew up in was very similiar in arrangement, except we had O&M gas cooking. We just simply pulled stuff out of the oven and set it on the cooktop. There essentially was no space on the right because of the built-in NuTone Kitchen Center and a bar sink to the right of taht and on the left of the oven aws a pantry rather than laundry room door. Never a problem in our house and that included me in and around the kitchen.

Isn't that a shelf behind grandma's behind? You could set things there and if the surface was not heat proof, you could use some of those decorative tiles or cute cast iron trivets that were always cluttering...I mean so darn popular. | ||

I've got a bunch of those pix.
I've got a bunch of those Hotpoint pix. They were the "kitchen of the month" on the 1960's Hotpoint calendars. If I could just find them, I'd scan them. Still got sooo much in boxes after I moved. Yes - I've got to get a canopy to accompany my Silhouette laundry pair.. when I get them... BTW, the counters won't marr - they're made of WESTINGHOUSE MAKARTA. haha | ||

Actually, I did (notice the dials); however, those are real Hotpoint cabinets... What is missing is the wall mounted Nu-Tone intercom & radio that was a standard feature in many homes of that era. | ||

Spinout, hit the nail on the head!!!!
Yes! I completely forgot that we had that intercom system!!! Actually, in our house it was a necessity. My mother worked at home on the third floor of a four floor walk-up in NYC. She received and sent packages all day long via a messenger service and they had to get through two security doors with electrically-controlled locks. When the doorbell rang she'd use the intercom to see who was there and then use a feature built-in to it to unlock the doors. As kids, of course, we also used it to spy on the other family living in the building but got in severe trouble if we were caught.
