Stereo System, Hicks House #2, 1961

House designed by R. Duane Conner, 1961

 

This wall of high-tech Nutone stereo/intercom equipment was state-of-the-art in 1961, and my mom's cousin (who grew up in the house) remembers flipping on each switch on the top control panel to turn on the stereo in every room of the house.

 

She and her sister would listen to music and dance around the house while doing their chores, and I guess that their very patient parents never minded as long as the jobs were getting done.

 

The third cabinet can be pulled down to expose a record player, and the fourth cabinet was used to store records. It now houses a fancy 8-track player.
