Heh, the first thing I noticed was the wood paneling, which yes, we have a whole lot of in our 1950 house in the PNW.

This is the only room with the panelling in it's natural state. The rest of it has been painted over before we bought the house.
There is also faux title paneling with a floral accent in the laundry. Textured paneling in one bathroom. And we had faux marble with gold veins in the master bath before I removed it.
Those and round phone jacks about every 10 feet or so. There's a phone jack in the hallway! Not even connected to a landline anymore. And because we opted for the ultra-deluxe old home, an intercom system that made a zapping noise accompanied by a perfect little curl of smoke when we turned it on for the first time. Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!
We also had the owner installed intercom system! I pulled it out since it didn't work anymore either. On top of that we have Central-Vac! It still works, and my toddler has yet to figure out she could put stuff in there.
Lucky!
I'm not even lying when I say that if I had a low wattage intercom system preexisting I'd drag new wire everywhere.
Easy pathway for some Cat6!
As long as they didn't staple the wire or something.
Omg. This at my house. All old cat 3 phone line. The lines aren't even terminated anymore but I can't pull them out. Same with all the coax lines. So frustrating.
