This article showing 20 photos of things from the 50s came up in my news
feed today and I rather surprised by a couple of them:

Photo #8, showing a refrigerator mounted sideways on the wall was brand
new to me. I never saw anything like that at any time in my life. I
suspect this must have been a fad that vanished very quickly after it
started.

I do not think I ever saw that set up in anything but "kitchens of the
future!" advertisments and film shorts.

I'm perplexed by Photo #17 which purports to be a "double oven". I'm not
sure what a "double oven" but the name suggests that it would have TWO
separate oven compartments in it; perhaps each could be set to a
different temperature if you wanted to cook two separate items that
needed different temperatures. I don't see anything resembling a second
oven in the picture: it looks just like pretty much every stove I've
ever seen with a stove top containing several burners, an oven, and
finally a drawer for various cooking supplies like pans or whatever.

Yes, it's basically two ovens next to each other. I think the Bradys had one.
