“It\u2019s winter in northern Europe, and there\u2019s no electricity. How can you dry your laundry? One of the best places of all is a laundry room in the servants\u2019 quarters of a mansion house. A generous ceiling height means you can have frames for wet clothes and household linen in the warmest, dryest part of the room. The estate handyman would make them, and by the later 19th century he would probably add ropes and a pulley to raise and lower the rack. No need to climb on a chair to hang laundry.”<\/p>\n
