THE 1900 HOUSE
The structure standing at 50 Elliscombe Road appears, from the outside, to be a typical London
townhouse. But inside, it is quite a different story. All traces of the 20th century have been
removed. The house has been fitted to appear and function just as it would have in the year 1900.
There is no television, computer, or microwave oven. The Bowlers had to live without the benefit
of even central heating or electricity.
Visit The 1900 House, room by room, and watch the Bowlers struggle with Victorian amenities.
Or take a Virtual Tour of the house, and find out more about the items the family had to learn
to depend on throughout their stay.
