So, I Found This Weird Nook in My Hallway…
The Mystery Nook
When I moved into my 1940s-era home a couple years ago, I noticed this strange little nook in the hallway. It wasn’t very deep, maybe about three feet high, and it had a peaked top. I stared at it for a full five minutes thinking:
What in the world is this for?
It was too small for a bookshelf, too awkward for a vase (believe me, I tried), and for months it just sat there — empty, unused, taunting me.
🧠 The Lightbulb Moment
One day, by pure accident, I stumbled across an old post in a vintage home forum. There it was — a photo of a nearly identical niche… with a rotary phone sitting in it.
💡 It hit me like lightning: This was a vintage telephone niche!
Back before phones fit in your pocket, most homes had one single telephone — usually mounted in a central hallway. And guess where it lived? Yep, in a built-in nook just like this one.
