Id like to try and start a new thread. Pay respects to all the kitchens that once served us well, but were abandoned and left for the elements. Only to ponder if it will prepare another meal ever again. Ill start.

This kitchen was deep inside an abandoned train Depot. Seems one of the many homeless guys that camped inside this location set this entire area on fire. All the melted objects in the kitchen made it have an alien look.

One of the people in my network is an anthropologist who has studied and lectured on the changing form of kitchens over the decades, and also my sister has a business designing kitchens, so I've been paying close attention to kitchens for the last several years.
Here's a good example of a traditional Korean kitchen, through the middle sliding doors which you can tell are lower down than the other doors. Kitchens used to be below floor level, because the ovens were also used to heat the floor in the rest of the house.
And here's a more contemporary one from the late 20th century, when women's work was kept out of view in the household.
Here's a toilet that hopefully wasn't originally located there (although I've seen an active kitchen with a toilet).

Those are all dope pictures! I like the Idea of the Korean oven also heating the floor. More energy effective to do the 2 in 1. Thanks for the photos!

Sublime to ridiculous.
I never realised I had so many photos of kitchens.

That picture is sweet, super cool find I like the big bowls. That kitchen more than likely fed the most people in its life out of all these pictures.

All these photos make you realize how many different shapes and sizes kitchens come in. Thanks for all the photos.

Great idea for a thread, kitchens are always one of the most interesting rooms in a place. Loving all of the colorful old appliances.

Same! Seeing the old appliances and the all the colors always paints a nice picture of that the place was like before.

This thread is a great idea, and the pics are lovely.

Really old house in the jungle, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Pretty typical of basic homes built vaguely sometime in the middle of the last century

Iron and Steel mill workers canteen kitchen. Eastern China.

Smashed kitchen inside an urban-village apartment block. Typical of Chinese "self-built houses", and often pretty similar to kitchens in government housing blocks (of which I have more pictures I am sitting on).

These are great. I really like the one with the huge hell hole in the floor. And some of those would have been nice af kitchens to cook in.

Thanks. for the accompanying narrative. I love hearing about the reasoning behind different design styles, especially the cultural ones.
I have so many questions about that last kitchen you posted (as well as some questions regarding their choice in colors, lol), but perhaps the most pressing one is, are those nazi symbols on the windows in the right of that photo?
I love the sliding doors in that first photo!
Edit: I got my photo numbers wrong.

It's the Buddhist swastika, but it's backwards because it's seen through a window. This house belonged to a fortune-teller.
Here's a front view:
