As Morzh indicated, that is a drop dead lovely piece of work. If indeed was was a gift in 1918 I doubt at that time it had a radio in it. Not to say that it could not have had one sometime in the 20s added in the cabinet. After removal of the tV you might see some signs on the inside of a shelf as was mentioned that would hold a radio chassis and perhaps some sign of a front panel which would hold a speaker and holes for the radio controls and dial. That panel would have to be constructed for mounting what ever radio chassis (vintage) and speaker. It would take some skilled woodworking to make this and have it look right when the doors are opened. Well worth the effort if you like old radios. As it is it certainly is a nice accent piece for a house, hiding a TV.
Best, Jerry
