For that matter, whose to know anyway? (regardless of when it was built)


You can get a switch/outlet like he is suggesting with a GFCI.
Personally I think a GFCI in the bathroom is a good idea.

I know some code items you are required to follow whenever you replace a
device, like if you have a grounded box and are replacing an old 2-prong
receptacle, you are REQUIRED to use a grounded outlet. Not sure if that
is true of the GFCI receptacle, but it certainly is a good idea.
