Thought some would enjoy seeing this photo I came across while doing Google searches on vintage appliances ... three appliances featured in the 1942 kitchen: Westinghouse mangle, unknown brand range, and unknown brand wringer washer.

I'm glad that I posted this pic since someone with knowledge of the place responded!
Interesting that the stove was only equipped with 3 burners. I wonder if anybody will identify the wringer washer with a "full skirt"; rather unusual for 1942 when most had high legs, at least until the late '40s or '50s. |

Before even reading caption or excellent commentary knew this had to be some sort of public housing seen in image. That exposed plumbing was dead giveaway for moi.
All public housing have seen in our area that weres built just before WWII or in post war years all have that exposed plumbing. Cannot understand why, I mean it wasn't as if these were retrofitting older places that initially lacked indoor plumbing. Some buildings even have exposed piping in common hallway areas. Entire series of Greenbelt public housing pictures can be seen here: www.loc.gov/search/QUESTI... History of the place: www.greenbeltmuseum.org/g... |

Heaven forbid the neighbors toilet should leak and your standing/sitting under the pipe below.
At least with a drywall or drop ceiling there is something to intercept a foul that's gone afoul. For all the "cool" urbanites that yearn for an exposed ceiling and can't be bothered with the falsities of a drop ceiling..... I hope you have an umbrella. |
