Locks and Lavatories: The Architecture of PrivacyEntry/Object ID
2008.002.0005Description
Today we jealously guard our privacy but in previous centuries living was much more communal. How has this change been reflected in the layout and furnishings of house? How has the single-room hut of prehistoric times evolved into the house of today. This book discusses how the medieval hall has shrunk to an entrance lobby; why bathrooms only became common in houses after the late 19th century; why separate servants' quarters and staircases were created; how labor-saving devices have transformed the home; and more.
