Another interesting feature of the house is that the light switches are
all pushbuttons. I think there was a thread on these a while back where
I mentioned this very house, as I've never seen them elsewhere. Like this:

Unfortunately, Dad didn't even keep them afaict when the folks updated
the house in the late '70s/early 80s.
