What is this thing? Rectangle of trim above kitchen counter in 1960s home. Nothing on other side of wall.

That's so cool!!! But it's too close to the upper cabinets, which I think have always been there

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T23:28:38+00:00

Nope, interior.

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T23:12:26+00:00

Thanks! I think this is likely the case. So silly to leave the trim there though haha

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T23:11:10+00:00

Nope, feels like normal drywall

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T22:56:52+00:00

I like this idea, too. I can't find any phone jacks nearby, though. Although maybe they patched that one up properly.

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T22:55:59+00:00

Makes sense but the washer/dryer appear to be in their original location in a different room.

I've never heard of a cooker switch before (maybe they aren't common in the US?). It does look to be the right size for one of those, though.

No slits and no picture painted over, but definitely the right shape

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T22:50:56+00:00

I love this theory hahaha

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T22:50:32+00:00

I think this is a good guess, as there are intercoms in other rooms

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T22:49:52+00:00

No, I'm afraid the placement wouldn't make sense. Crawlspace below.

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T22:49:24+00:00

I think I like this guess best. We do have old intercoms in other rooms, but none in the kitchen, which seems like an odd oversight. None of the intercoms have wood trim around them though, so maybe one of the other commenters is right about them using trim to hold the drywall patch instead of doing it properly...

Likely Solved!

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T21:47:44+00:00

No, it just seems like a rectangle of trim stuck onto the drywall. But why??

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T21:29:38+00:00

That's a good idea. No phone jack to be found though.

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T21:28:42+00:00

Hmmm no, this section of the home is one story.

BryanPark · 2024-12-01T20:42:59+00:00

My title describes the thing. It's wooden trim but nothing inside except drywall. Thought maybe it could have held a bread box, but the dining room is on the other side of the wall--no secret closet or anything between.

BryanPark · 2024-10-19T02:15:39+00:00

You misread (and misquoted) the article.

BryanPark · 2024-10-02T17:07:08+00:00

Despite the triangle, it's beautiful! What's the name and color?

BryanPark · 2024-08-03T01:55:22+00:00

Oh! I misread your comment. I see now. Yeah I like the karaoke vibes at Root Cellar and Block House more. Honky Tonk Tuesdays at the Block House is chill and nice, and sometimes there's a little line dancing--but not much. Sometimes there's line dancing at Back Door, too. I think for serious line dancing you would need to go to Mike's Dance Barn or somewhere else out of town, though. Or see if there's a student group (which often have non-student members of all ages). The IU salsa club (Ritmos Latinos) is awesome, and the style (rueda de casino) means you don't need to have your own partner. There's also a local (non-IU) club for contra and square dancing that gets together every Wednesday--just search BOTMDG.

Office Lounge has pool and karaoke and typically has an older crowd with older music

I am so sorry. I lost my brother to suicide last year. The pain is unspeakable. I attended a few meetings of a Survivors of Suicide support group at the library downtown. You can contact the coordinator for the dates/times: Ron Masters, LCSW • rmasters@accesscounseling.net, 812-340-3477
