Very nice documentation of old construction methods. I got a kick out of the
knife switch with exposed terminals that you could easily contact
accidentally.

The following are pictures of a house built in the 1880's which originally
had a 30 amp 120 volt service, entering in the attic, with a K&T fuse
panel, also in the attic. The house had gas lamps in both walls and
ceilings, which were disconnected and changed to electric in a 1928
renovation/ addition. The 1928 work included making the attic into an
apartment. The K&T was from the original build, and all the other cable
types were subsequent, including the 1928 renovation, up until present.
The beverage containers could have been from the original construction, or
possibly the 28' renovation despite prohibition
