The house I owned in Chicago is similar to yours, but built around 1890. 
I had most of it rewired, putting all AC in either steel conduit (EMT) 
or Greenfield (flexible steel tubing). I used GFCIs in the kitchen and 
bathrooms.  Don't recall the brand. One of them was always tripping. I 
had bought a bunch, and replaced it with one of the left-overs. That 
fixed it. So it was a bad one.

Lutron has a reputation of making dimmers that generate little if any RF 
noise, and word has it that they are pretty much aware of RFI. I'd try 
one of their outlets first.
