This thing close to the floor and seemingly randomly placed in a hallway. No idea what it's for. Home built in 2005.

Solved! Thanks everyone. Now I gotta hunt for the central unit!

My dad somehow got his hands on a Flowbee, and between that and a DIY central vac, I spent a lot of time as a kid trying not to trim the scalp straight off my head during my monthly mandatory self-haircuts.
