I am also correcting the wiring to make sure that the light switches
actually disconnect the hot side....not all of them did.

When I was 19, I found that in our fraternity house, built as a large
house maybe 1920? but I thought it was my mistake, not the house's. It
didn't occur to me to fix it.

The Carter system, outlawed in 1923.

This documentary shows how future fraternity houses were wired in 1922.
