We are remodeling the small kitchen in our 1887 Victorian home (City
Monument and on National Register of Historic Places).  We would like
the refrigerator/freezer to look like a historic ice box.  We would
like it to be no wider than 24 inches, and would like to face the
doors so that they match the cabinetry we will be custom building -
with flush mounted doors to match existing cabinets (with no toe
kick), so preferrably less than about 28 inches deep.  We have tried
searching for "narrow refrigerator" or "built in refrigerator", but
have come up with nothing close to what we're looking for.

We have an energy-efficient ConServ fridge that we got from Real Goods

http://www.realgoods.com/

we like it very much and it's only 23" wide and 24" deep.

good luck!

If you want to consider another alternative, you could shop restored
vintage refrigerators (and other appliances) at
http://antiqueappliances.com

After we posted our original question, we found the antiqueappliances
website.  We should have stated that we also have an antique range
that we had restored.  We've recently replaced it with a Heartland
reproduction stove so we could have the modern conveniences (and
safety).

For a refrigerator, we'd also like to be modern, but look like an
antique icebox.  The realgoods refrigerator mentioned above would fit
our limited space, but we'd have to replace the door with a custom
made one.  We may still do that.

We also found Roseland Icebox Co's website www.iceboxes.com, which
seems to be exactly what we're looking for...   ...if the price isn't
too steep.

does anybody know of any other such companies?

You can try here. But may I suggest customizing your own cabinet
doors. If you have anyone in your family that is good with there hands
this task shouldnt be to hard. You could measure it then make the
design then remove the handle off of your fridge a glue the new cover
over the old one. This is just a thought anyways.

Have you tried SMEG for a retrolook?

Have you thought about buying one from the UK market, it may not be as
expensive as you would expect. The UK market does have narrower
kitchen appliances. try here at our web site
