Strange Rooms

I ran across this floor plan today of an English Tudor style home in Pennsylvania circa 1900. In addition to it's sprawling nature and curious flow from room-to-room, I could not help but notice how different the types of rooms are from today's homes. Check out the library on the left with a spiral staircase leading up to the master bedroom. Or how about the "gun room" hanging out on the right wing across from the servant's hall and butler's quarters. And, I really can't begin to imagine what might happen in the "Flower Room."

Were you born in the wrong era?

Do you ever feel like you were possibly born in the wrong era? Do you lie awake at night, nostalgic for the times where everyone sat in their parlor with a good mystery novel next to a roaring fire?
