So not including residential settings, where was the weirdest place you've ever seen a CF installed, and what kind of CF was installed? Here's my list:
-A local pizza place had a single PB SMC DC-52 (Park Avenue III) installed in a random corner of it. A blade and blade bracket recently broke off of the fan, so it may have been replaced.
-The Ruby Tuesday's near me had a single gloss black 90s Emerson Designer installed in the wood-and-glass enclosed bar. It had an AB 4-light fitter on it. It was removed recently when the place was converted to a Marlin and Ray's. Inside the restaurant, there used to be a bunch of PB 90s Emerson Designers, however, they got removed in a 2004 remodel. In their place in what is now Marlin and Ray's, there hang some bronze-colored Minka Aire Rainman fans.
-My local Chili's had a single PB Litex-Ellington FPV 5B 52" Builder that was installed in the middle of the seating waiting area as you first entered. The fan was removed, along with a bunch of other of the same type of fans, in a 2004 or 2005 remodel.
-The local Uno Chicago Grill had a 4B black Hunter Classic Original over its seating waiting area. There were also a bunch of black 5B Hunter Classic Originals scattered throughout the restaurant. There were some 4B Hunter Classic Originals in the bar, and 2 Weathered Brick Hunter Sea Airs outdoors. When the place became a Famous Dave's, all fans were removed, except for the ones in the bar and outdoors, though the ones outdoors were replaced by some kind of black-colored outdoor fans.
-My local Super Fresh had 2 rows of 5 (10 fans total) white Hunter 5B Classic Originals over the checkouts on short down rods. Over the salad bar, there hung 2 5B white Hunter Classic Originals on 72" down rods, with their pull chains almost barely touching the top of the salad bar. Said fans were removed when the place turned into an independent grocery store. (I tried to get them, but failed in my attempt to do so).
-A bowling alley arcade had 2 Progress Lighting 36" white fans with stencil blades from the late 80s or early 90s, spread far apart from each other. They also had white with stencil blade NuTone Verandahs over the lanes. The NuTones were replaced by white HB Farmingtons in 2010. Not sure if the Progresses remain or not. There is a single white HB 42" Gazebo hanging in the canopy to the entrance of the bowling alley's restaurant.
-An ex Saturn dealership had a bunch of gloss white Hunter Infinities from 1995 on long down rods spread out in random places throughout the showroom. The place turned into an Infiniti dealership. The fans were removed, and my dad happened to be helping with the demolition, and he got the fans for me, I have all of them (: There were also a bunch of white 36" Dayton/Marley Industrials spread throughout the service garage, all of those fans still remain in the Infiniti dealership, yet one that didn't work was removed and given to me.
-A Chevy dealership in my area had 2 white 36" Dayton/Lasko Industrials on long down rods installed in the showroom randomly. Said fans were removed when the dealership was recently remodeled.
-The parts counter at a local Cadillac dealership has several mid to late 90s HB Littletons without lights spread randomly in the area behind the counter.
-TGI Friday's always had a single dark-colored Hunter 5B Classic Original (60") or Casablanca Four Seasons II or Delta II 5B in black on a long down rod in the entrance. Said fans were removed in remodels, and there were several matching fans throughout the restaurants themselves, which were also removed in remodels.
-A local college has 2 early brown Fasco (48"?) Heat Cyclers installed in the rec gym on very, very short down rods.
I'll add more as I think of them.
