Woman listening to a radio in her living room, circa 1926
Order an ImageIn the early 1920s, radios were tricky machines that only an expert could operate. By 1926, they were much easier to use and came in a variety of models, some of which looked like furniture.
In this photo, taken around 1926, a young Seattle woman listens to a radio in her living room. On Sundays, she could hear services from St. James Cathedral or First Presbyterian Church and a concert by the Puget Sound Savings & Loan Association Orchestra. Weekday programs ranged from dance music and recipes to sports scores and stock quotations.
