I was a boy it the 1970s. All (nearly all?) of my parents closest friends also had kids. I don't think I ever actually saw a conversation pit in person. My hunch is that it was very much a single person thing because I assume if you have kids (especially little kids) - a pit in your house is a serious hazard. And by the time I was an adult - they had already faded away. I'm no architecture expert but I'd be shocked if any typical homes made in the 1980s or later had them. It seems like a very 1960s (and 1970s?) trend.
