A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.

In a town of this vintage the first question in La Grange Park is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture.
