A proposito di questo titolo
Step back into the past to explore the architectural ghosts of the pre-modern home. This audio overview examines ten once-common features that technology and social shifts have rendered obsolete, from the manual labor of stocking iceboxes and shoveling fuel through coal chutes to the daily convenience of insulated milk doors. Listeners will discover how the formal parlor evolved into the casual living room, why transom windows were essential for climate control before air conditioning, and how dumbwaiters and butler's pantries facilitated service in multi-story households,. Whether highlighting the dangerous legacy of knob and tube wiring, or the class divides visible in servant’s quarters,, this summary reveals the hidden history built into our walls.
