How about a 1937 Westinghouse kitchen. I would almost kill for this, esp. the dishwasher sink. I hope someone can save it. I contacted the seller to see if they would sell only the electric sink they will but for $1200.00 they also sent me some pics of the inside of the dishwasher.

I knew a guy Who went to the 39 Worlds Fair and saw the Westinghouse kitchen display, as soon as they got home , his parents had the complete kitchen installed,He remembered you had to time the cycles yourself, it was NOT fully automatic, You turned on the water for so many minutes etc.. | ||

 Swoon!! What an amazing time capsule kitchen. I don't know if they staged the photos or if the former owners just walked away from the kitchen and its contents. The accessories and dishes sure looked original.
I have never seen a Conover style dishwasher like this in the wild. One of their models had a window in the door! | ||

In the first picture of the kitchen, you will see, on the left side of the counter, the same Westinghouse vacuum coffee maker as in the Middleton movie. | ||

Good eye, Tom, I wondered what that glass was.
I have a Westinghouse parts book with this dishwasher/sink in it, couldn't believe it when I first came across it. I have seen pictures of a kitchen in the old power company building that had a Westinghouse kitchen set up as a classroom/lecture room, dishwasher and all. They probably did cooking classes and 'living better electrically' seminars on how to get the most out of your new electric service -- and buy appliances through the utility. It's a very beautiful kitchen, from the handles to the original appliances. I love the big windows letting light in. A bit hopeful on the price, but you never know. Pulling site-built wood cabinets and refitting them in a new space wouldn't be easy or fun. Is there any more of the story of how the kitchen came be unused and preserved? | ||

This was actually for sale by someone else on Facebook last month. The kitchen is located in West Frankfort, Ill which is fairly close to my in-laws. I was going to purchase just the metal cabinets and appliances sans stove and have my f-i-l go pick them up for me, but the seller found someone willing to buy the whole thing, which I guess is the person now selling them on craigslist. The previous owner was selling the whole kitchen for 1K. I wish I could have gotten them back then :(

Interesting find! I thought the ad was nice enough to find a clearer (easier to read) example, so here it is. It would still be fun to have such a kitchen, though the 30's designs are a little further away from my prefs. Thanks again for posting!
