You would hate renting in my 1920's building. My 700 sqft apartment has 2 walk in closets and an extremely oversized wardrobe closet. I was wondering if maybe there was some reaction to lack of closet space in the 1800's to excess in the 1900's. They always say you can't have enough storage but I'm using them to store empty cardboard boxes, an absurd waste of premium space.

Can you imagine the cost of heating one of these beasts today? Huge volumes of space. Even with all the fireplaces I'm sure they were drafty.
