Print Emporium
Executive Pantry: 1909
Dumbwaiter
Built into the wall behind the call station is what looks to be a dumbwaiter, complete with a three button control -- presumably for Up, Down and Stop.
I see a Wedgwood teapot
On the bottom shelf, probably blue. As if women wearing full-length skirts in 1909 didn't have enough to think about while doing their daily chores, those carpet wrinkles could cause some serious falls. Behemoth cupboard would have needed a stepladder to get into. Or did folks just stand on the counter like my kids used to??
Another Summoner
Again, a call device on the wall, last seen in the Efficiency Kitchen. This one has a lot more call stations, 36 to be exact.
[I think it's more like 24. - Dave]
Butler's Pantry
This is on the first floor apparently according to pictures here.
