Bathroom- the family would share one tub of water and bathe in front of the fire, one by one. How do you think they heated the water?
Play room/living room- in the evening, when work was done, the family could gather by the fire to share stories or entertain each other, and enjoy company.
Bedroom- in very small houses, the whole family may have slept in the same main room as the fire. Why was this a good place to sleep?
Kitchen- the only source of heat for cooking was over the fire. All hot meals were prepared here.
Dining room- the family and any visitors for dinner would gather in the main room on the floor or some chairs to share their meals.
In the past, some houses only had one or two rooms. In this example, one room had to serve many functions. Click in to learn more.
Toilet- houses like this did not have a plumbed or flushing toilet. A chamber pot would be kept under the bed, and was emptied outside in the morning.
