Uncovering Secret Features of Historic Houses
The older the house, the more stories it holds. The primary purpose of any house is practical, and the architecture of centuries-old dwellings indicates how each space was used in the past.
Residents, architects, and designers of old houses were ingenious, creating practical and aesthetic solutions to problems they faced. For example, the 'wig warmer' is one such innovative feature.
Another notable feature is the 'priest hole', a secret hiding place in historic houses.
Each house tells a story and the older the house, the more chapters that story has.
