Interesting. So the property is older than I am told. They say it was built in 1980 but then it's a condo and different units may have been built at different times. But 10 years?
When "modular connectors" ( ie, RJ-11) came in in the early 70's, these old 4 prong jacks did not get replaced overnite. Could also be a retrofit to handle a phone or answering machine that had a 4 prong plug.
OP The old modular connectors were phased out in 1976 according to Wikipedia. Our 1978 house had them and I imagined many were still used until supplies diminished into the late 80's.
