Examples of Modern Levitt Built-In Kitchens in the Fifties

Country Clubber Kitchen (GE Ad - 1957)
This is the exact turquoise kitchen my parents had in their Country Clubber in Snowball Gate. To maximize space, notice how all of the major appliances—including an automatic washer and dryer, automatic dishwasher, sink, 4 burner cook top and oven, along with built-in cabinets and  a stainless steel countertop-- all fit into about 9 feet of wall space.

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. PA-Push-button Convenience - Levittown kitchens featured an array of gadgets designed to make housework easier.
