Before dial phones, I used to take a war surplus carbon microphone and a pair of earphones in series and clip them across the phone terminals where it came into my home.  This was in the second floor bathroom.  I would push the transmit button on the microphone and the operator would ask, "Number Please", I'd give her the number and make my calls without going down to the dining room on first floor where the phone was.

Traces of Texas
At the intersection of Heights Blvd. and 9th Street in Houston, 1960. Sadly, the house in the

background has been replaced by what looks to be a nondescript apartment complex.

Too much history - major and minor - has been lost to nondescript apartment and office buildings.
