That wiring isn't just from the 70's. I know several houses from the mid-50's (my own and my childhood home included) which were wired similarly. Mostly the bedrooms. Had no lighting, but for one switched outlet. It was often the outlet opposite the door.That's what I call "70's opium den lighting design". It's characterized by no ceiling light fixtures, one receptacle per wall and a switched outlet for your lava lamp. One of my friends had a condo like that before he hired me to fix it. Now his neighbors ask how he has so much light since their condos were built the same.
Because each room had to have a light controlled from within 6(?) feet of the door.Many houses from that era and a little earlier had a switch controlled outlet with the switch next to the front door. The outlet was supposed to be used for a table lamp.
That must be a Gas dryer? A normal electric dryer runs on its own 240 30-40amp breaker circuit.For my house, when I run my Air Compressor, and a Soldering iron, and a space heater, and then the wife turns on the Clothes Dryer, it kicks of breaker # 4 ( a 20 amp).
