The Tenement House (National Trust for Scotland)

The four-story sandstone tenement at one hundred and forty-five Buccleuch Street stands out for the lace curtains that never moved for half a century. Agnes Toward lived in this flat from nineteen eleven until nineteen seventy-five, and she kept everything inside exactly as it was. When researchers finally stepped through the door after she moved out, they found jars of jam with labels written in nineteen twenty, and a gas meter that still held pennies from the Great War.
