The Bedroom
To modern eyes, the small bedroom seems to be missing something: where would the depot family put the clothes? And what is that huge wooden contraption against the wall?

Light
by 1914, Wimbolton had built its own light plant, and many homes and businesses began to blaze with incandescent bulbs. The main floor of the depot was wired and lit.
It was not until Norma Jean Meyer, service depot, agent that her husband, Jim, installed the wiring himself, brought electricity to the living quarters above. Even then, it was only enough power to run a few small appliances. For lighting, the family continue to rely on kerosene lamps.

No closet?
In early days, most people that build closets in their homes, for several reasons. First, property taxes were calculated on the number of rooms in the house, or building, in closets, counted as rooms, so fewer closets meant lower taxes. Second, most people simply had fewer articles of clothing back then, so it was just as easy to hang their clothes from hooks or pegs on the wall, or store them in freestanding closets called wardrobes.
