  1. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    The houses in olden times were mostly thatched. In many houses there was only one apartment and therefore, the bed should be in the kitchen. Half doors are still in use in many houses.
    Wood was chiefly burned in olden times and in some houses there were no chimneys or windows.
