While reading on interior designs I saw a history of the conversation pit.
Becoming a feature in the 1950s it peaked in the 1970s.
This is from a 1966 article showing teens hanging out.
This is from an early 1970s article showing a sound system featuring a turntable to the left, a tape deck to the right, a keyboard in the center, along with the brightly colored furniture.
I am in a bit of a fascination phase with the conversation pit. What do you think of it?

I think I've only been in one house, that had one or it was more like a side room/parlor with a drop floor. It was off from the main flow of the house. But yeah. No conversations to be had there, as it was more or less, being used as a storage space.
Probably just not a popular architectural design for Wisconsin?
