I haven't seen radiators like these. I'm not 100% sure that's what they are. No other radiators in the house match. House listing: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1024-Cass-St-La-Crosse-WI-54601/40364065_zpid/

    They are radiators but it looks like a whole lot of radiation for a small space.

    probably because they are in a room that wasn't meant to be a room but was once a porch or sunroom.
    I had a room much like that growing up. looked very similar.

    Love those rads. I bet it’s toasty in that room.

    Those are wonderful! I have seen radiators like that -- I can't think where just now, but it was a very high end house in the Berkshires... put out a lot of heat, but in the days before storm windows, in La Crosse, with all that glass I daresay the old lady who sat there needed them.

    They're "flue radiators" and you're right, lots of output in a smaller space.
