“Any home you select in Levittown
will give you the comforts and
conveniences that take the drudgery out
of housekeeping. Thanks to the number of
appliances in our house, the girls will
have three hours to kill every
afternoon.”
Architect Alfred Levitt

Example of Levitt's Modern Built-In Kitchen
1957
Country Clubber Kitchen
(GE Ad - 1957)
PA State Museum - Levittown
Kitchen Exhibit
This kitchen, from a Jubilee
model located in the Highland
Park section, typifies the
“modern efficiency” of
Levittown’s homes. To maximize
space, all major
appliances—including an
automatic washer and dryer—were
built into this area. Homeowners
could also choose options like
the built-in food processor with
interchangeable attachments.
This reconstruction represents
the kitchen as it appeared in
1958, the year that its original
owners purchased their new home.
