The Cold Closet Along An Outside Wall
There’s a reason why an old house has an outdoor closet that’s constantly cold- Cold closets. Yes, that’s its real name! They were created to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for as long as possible. Cold closets, unlike ice boxes, were installed before families had access to refrigerators. Although cold closets couldn’t keep products frozen, they could keep vegetables, cheese, and meats fresh until they were needed. People would store herbs and produce in chilly closets to keep them from spoiling, especially during harvests. If your refrigerator is full, you can still use a cool closet.
A Phone Jack
With each passing day, the number of homes that require a landline phone jack lowers. For starters, most individuals only use their cell phones, and just a small percentage of people have a landline phone. It is only really required by internet service providers. The land line will become increasingly outdated as more tech companies release Wi-Fi gadgets. It’ll only be a matter of time before we don’t need a landline at all.
