A Little British Insight

Wow!!! Thats Beautiful Ive Always Wanted To Live In A Victorian House Great Job Btw Whats A Parlour :P |
*Correct me if im wrong*
A Parlor is actually the victorian fridge *origionally* which was built from stone to store food at cold temps, e.g. butter. This was seperate from the kitchen as stoves would heat these items up and spoil them. Later the hall way became known as a parlour due to a vast majority of hallways (being the entrance to the house) holding the outside air (meaning it was cold), when the victorian style crossed over to america a new room developed and also became known as the parlour although it isnt used any more and died out quickly, this room (so you know) was basicly a second sitting room but was only for family use never guests, this transfered back to Britian and another room developed (this is the last one) which was a waiting area outside of a kitchen where the servants would eat their food if not in the kitchen. *pant* oh i need air *pant* this room was used only slightly more than the second sitting room as the era was aging and a new style came into structures.
Why i know this is beond me

Thanks for the insight, woodchip50! I think whether the extra "u" is there or not depends on where you live. I unfortunately abandoned my Canadian roots and now spell neighbour "neighbor" and colour "color". It's really too bad!
Thanks for all the nice comments! I'm thinking of making more Victorian style houses. I like the idea of having a neighbourhood full of bay windows and sheltered porches.
