How was the houses like 100 years ago?

Answer 1

Some of the Christmas traditions in the United States 100 years ago were very similar to what we have today. Families gathered from all over to share Christmas dinner. Presents, often homemade, were exchanged. Christmas trees were also put up, often just a few days before Christmas, and amid the decorations many people hung candies, cookies, and small presents.

Answer 2

A 100 years ago was 1913. Many things were different. A war was going on in Europe, Teddy Roosevelt just finished his presidency, there were no TV, no DVD, no CD, no computers, no cell phones, a few home phones, cars were just getting popular, movies were silent and not in color, women didn't have the right to vote, people used streetcars to get around, there was no theme parks, Roller Coasters were just getting made. You might catch the streetcar to the park, get a ice cream cone, and go to the zoo on a Saturday. No computer games or internet to play, but,you might play baseball and collect baseball cards. There was no NFL or national football games to watch, but you may watch a baseball game at your local park. Instead of sitting around watching TV people had to get out of the house , go to the library, go to the park, go to the beach, visit with others.

Answer 3

The way houses were made depended on the location of the house. Many were wood houses that had large windows and a front porch. They were usually located near the city center because the car wasn't in widespread use yet, so people didn't want to walk far to stores, offices, and government buildings. A 100 years ago would be 1917 and the world was a different place. The houses wouldn't have had air conditioners or central heat and in the east like NYC they would have been multistory made of brick. The world of 1917 was so different from ours it is almost hard to understand. They didn't have the things we have like TV, radio, computers, even electric power wasn't widespread and to telephone someone required the help of a operator. Of course there were no cell phones and the United States was involved in WW1.
