Deceptive

I was surprised to find a morgue up on the top floor, until I walked around and saw how shallow it was! The room appeared to be a food preparation area, and this was the refrigerator.

It's really all the same equipment with just a slightly different purpose, but I just can't shake the morgue out of my head when looking at this.

It might be fun to have fridge doors like that.

Just the size of the doors, I'm sure,
but it sure does look like a cadaver cooler.

It is a refrigerator. For food. The two cooling units in the top are the same ones used on General Electric Monitor Top Refrigerators. Would like to know how they got them in there. I have two of them, and they are EXTREMELY heavy!

Yea, this is a refrigerator and those look like GE monitor top refrigerator motors which date back to the 1920's-30's. It looks like this might have been an early ice box that was converted into a refrigerator.
