10 Old Home Features That Have FADED Into History | Memory Lane
Imagine living in an era when your refrigerator is a large block of ice, and every day you still have to get milk at the milk door-how wonderful that would be. Today, let's together stroll down Memory Lane and admire 15 features of old homes that have become part of history.
Memory Lane is meant to be a visual history lesson. Each video explores a topic that relates to a specific point in time and takes a look back at that moment with not only snapshots, but also with commentary that tells a story.
Learning about life during various decades is best done by seeing how these moments looked. We all remember flipping through old photo albums and this channel is meant to feel that same way.
Memory Lane is a place where we can look back at the nostalgic eras of the past.

When I was a kid in the 50's, we had a coal fired boiler system for steam heat in our house. The coal truck would come weekly and dump coal into the coal shute that went into storage in the basement where it would get fed into the boiler as needed.

Thanks for sharing, how old are you now?

[@Dadsezso]

@@MemoryLN Nearly 70. We had dairy products like milk, butter, cream, cottage cheese, bread and eggs delivered. Our house didn't have the milk door you had in this video but, we did have a heavy galvanized steel bin that sat on the porch where the delivery man would pick up empties and deliver the fresh products.
My grandparents owned a farm and had cattle amongst many other farm animals. They had their own fresh milk. I remember helping process the milk when it was brought in, it would get pasturized then separated with a hand cranked separator. When I was there I somehow ended up being the operator. Then, take the cream and put it in a churn with some salt and make butter.
They carried over a lot of habits they formed during the depression. Today, they'd be called preppers, LOL.

Thank you, wish you good health

@@Dadsezso But did you put it manualy into the fire?

@@Telecolor-in3cl I didn't but my dad took care of all that. I remember the ash being a big mess when it needed emptying. For a kid, the basement was a dark place we didn't want to go.😆
