"Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their
cellars
for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them."
-Henry David Thoreau
