Slightly off topic. Plans for a tenement in Edinburgh (with apologies for the light reflections). Many people think tenements were slums, but most were the standard form of accommodation in Scottish cities. These tenements have a dining room (with recess for the sideboard or buffet), closet and drawing room at the front, with 3 bedrooms and a kitchen at the back. One large bedroom has a tripartite window and may have been used as a parlour, particularly if it had good views across the Firth of Forth.
