I was cleaning out a guest room and took a better look at this outlet. I rarely go into this room, so I have not noticed this before. There is a lamp cord coming out of the bottom!!

I pulled out the drawers of the built in to find the termination of the wire and found this...

Plugged into an outlet without a faceplate next to one of the drawers. Who is the smarty that thought this was a good idea?
Now this is where it gets interesting. Are the built-ins original, or were they added on later? The unfinished floors under the built-ins lead me to believe that they are original, but the outlet and base trim make things go in the other direction.

And yes, the outlet has been unplugged, the wall outlet will be replaced shortly with a 3 prong, and a faceplate has been installed.
