Someone asked mr "Why do Victorian homes have such high ceilings"
I don't knoe the answer.



Coal fires.


No, gas lighting.


My house is Victorian. The ceilings in the main part are high. Those in
the rear addition low. Rear addition was originally kitchen, scullery,
bathroom, bedroom. With gas lighting and open fires, to kitchen and
bedroom.
