What a treat to get the history and pictures. I, too, have a bungalow and I'd love to discover the history about the house. Do you have any contractors you'd recommend in Rockford to help us? We're not exactly talented in the do-it-yourself remodeling. Thanks so much! WOW! What a treat to get the history and pictures.

I love the little porch roof over the storm door. We're contemplating adding something like this to the front of our house, just enough to stand under in the rain if you have to look for your keys; beautiful, well done! <a>My blog</a> Wow I really hope our renovations will turn out as well as yours!

I am living in an apartment in North Carolina that was constructed in the early 1950s (I want to say it was completed in '52), and I have something very similar to that in my hallway. There is only one in the whole apartment, in the whole house that I know of. My landlord is an 80-something year old lady, and has no idea what it could have been--just tells me that her husband was very technical. My grandfather, who is a retired AT&T worker, said that it looks like an old telephone jack. PLEASE e-mail me if you get a concrete answer, I would LOVE to know. How funny!

The old man lived there for 60 years (decatur il) and he was a dentist. I thought it might have been some serious plug for something for a specialty but seeing this thread makes me wonder. if these were all bedrooms with the exspetion of the front sun room/porch of this house. it makes me wonder if it was for fans, or maybe some swiched thing. odd I will have to look else where.

They were used to connect regular NEMA plugs and also the tandem NEMA 2-15 plugs, and so the two sets of slots are both powered from the same two wires. These sockets are often marked "250V 10A" but are generally used with 120v. They were later replaced by the T-slot outlets which combine the two plug types in a different manner.
