We were able to tour one of those historic city while on holiday this past summer.
I it was undoubtedly interesting to me as I grew up on a modern city. I never even thought about things like, indoor plumbing, electricity, or the need of Heating, Ventilation and A/C systems. I can’t even imagine having to visit an outhousehold in the middle of the night during the winter. The other big problem they had back then was trying not to freeze to death during the long frosty Northern winters. Most of the pioneer homes were basically one room with a big fireplace, so that may have been fine, but the greater homes, I couldn’t imagine trying to keep warm. They had a fireplace in various of the rooms and trying to keep them all going through the night must have been nearly impossible. It wasn’t until Benjamin Franklin, our former President, invented the “Franklin Stove” that things become easier. This cast iron stove required less tending and produced a more efficient heat source. Their popularity spread as people moved west. The greater models were used in factories and mills until the implementation of electric and gas burning Heating, Ventilation and A/C systems various years later, then after learning all my associate and I did, I am undoubtedly grateful to live in a time where my associate and I have so various possibilities to heat and cool our homes. I even have the ability to control my system with my cell phone. If Benjamin Franklin were to come back today and see the advancements I am sure he would be amazed. I would cherish to show him how to search the internet.
