  • Assuming the wiring is still in place but no longer hooked up to the phone network, there are things you could do with that:

    I could be mistaken, but I think I remember (from back in the day when it was more common) their being ways to use phone wiring to network computers, or send a signal from an amp to speakers in room (I have some doubts about the latter, since speaker wire normally a lot heavier than phone wire).

    Doorbell or intercom is another thing that you could use it to connect between rooms. You could even rig up old phones between rooms (without being on the phone network), though you’d need to supply power and maybe jury rig a button to ring them across the line.

    If you had use for some other kind of wiring, the wires could possibly be handy for pulling the new wires through the wall.
