This reminds me of the whole house vacuum!
I've seen 2 or 3 houses now which have the plumbing for these still, basically just a powerful vacuum in the basement, with tubes in the walls going to ports in every room. Then the actual vacuum you use is just an extension hose attached to a vacuum head on a stick. None of them have been still in operation sadly, I'd love to try it. Its stupid honestly, but I find it so charming. it must be much quieter too!
