My grandparents lived in Detroit and at the back of the basement was a fruit cellar on one side and next to that was the coal bin. At the back door was a milk chute.

Upstairs in the hallway, there was a clothes chute where you dropped the clothes and they landed in the clothes basket in the basement.

I still have my grandmother's huge ironing machine which was a big long steam roller thing and you sat in front of it to do the ironing......
