And destroy the patina? Haven’t you watched Antiques Roadshow?

I had a Tappan stainless steel side by side oven with 4 burners on the pull out portion and a full length cutting board. It was marvelous. Loved baking pies in the small oven on the right hand side, giant casseroles in the left oven. It would make so much more sense to continue the design for a modern small kitchen than those giant glass top ranges.

I’ve got one of these in my house! It needs a little repair (switch for back two burners needs to be replaced) but I’ve been surprised how much I like it.

I have the single oven Frigidaire Flair in my house, so narrower but the same model, just without the little oven door on the left. Mine has a steel cabinet underneath that was made for it, so it can be free standing, this one appears to have been built right into the kitchen cabinetry, which is cool.
​
Mine still works but it has some issues, luckily there's a community of people who love these particular ovens/stoves so parts and repair info is still available, so hopefully I'll never need to replace it.

Looks like Alice should be cooking breakfast for the Brady Bunch on this thing.

It's because getting a dual wall oven plus a cooktop is more than twice as much as just buying a stove. There are a few models of stoves with a split oven, but they are not very popular since the top one is very short and the bottom one is too short for taller needs (turkey, large dutch oven).

For some reason houses don’t have them anymore.

It's also the oven Sissy Spacek used in Blast from the Past.
Blast from the Past kitchen scene at the beginning of the movie.

Well mines looks the same, I’ll just have to get a closer look at mine soon. I THINK I remember seeing Frigidaire logos.

It’s amazing the stuff old people still have in their home. My grandmother has old cast iron sinks and tub from before the 60s. Her oven, dryer and fridge are all from the 70s. She keeps a service plan just so she doesn’t have to replace the parts. It’s wild.

A thing I’ve learned about appliances is that once they’re old beyond a certain point, they last forever. It’s the five year old thing that will fall apart (and the manufacturer acts like you’re delusional for expecting better).
