I love this! Our 1955 house came with the washing machine hookups in the kitchen, a clothesline in the backyard and the (much later than '55) hookups for the dryer in the garage! I guess women used to cook and do the laundry in one convenient and central location with a great view of the 7 kids in the backyard! I'm thankful the previous owners had a dryer installed in the garage, and can't wait to build a laundry room in the garage, and get the extra counter space in the kitchen. I see an overhaul in our future... distant future! Ha! I love this!

And yes, we do still have our retro little manual. It cracks us up and it's so fun to show visitors. The funniest thing to us is that our dryer was soooo old when we inherited it (hence them passing that manual down to us). Crazy! xoxo, Sherry

I do love quirky old finds. We actually have a quirky drawing of our lot framed in the living room. It's funny to see our tiny house drawn on a big rectangular acre of land. Plus at the top there are a few notes about land size and coordinates and the last note is a tiny sentence that crack us up. It reads: "House is old." <br> xo Sherry Ooh, framing it is a great idea.

Have you thought about framing a page and putting it in your current laundry nook? I could be a fun piece of art... What a great find!

I like the flair on their dresses. I love what you did to the back of the laundry space...so easy and yet such a nice way to hide the mechanicals, but still give easy access to the water shut-offs.

Do you have the original deed to your house? We were given ours and can trace the house from the land that was given to this man's daughter in 1910, through selling it, divorces, etc. An amazing piece of history. I love the wife in heels and daughter in matching dress standing back watching the installation man (hubby?) while he slides those cinder blocks across her shiny, sparkling floor!
