I’m trying to invent a new room for the home. There hasn’t been one since the garage was repurposed as a workshop by Some Guy in 1933. Considering calling it the Stack Room. Where you manage your connection to The Stack.pic.twitter.com/y4lnfXvIsr

Yeah we had live-in maid (with family) and a gardener Owith family). House I grew up in had 2 tiny 1-room servant homes, detached from main house. Kinda like mother-in-law cottages in some American SFHs. And this was a middle-class house smaller than the average American SFH.
is that just because labour is really cheap?
Pretty much. Humans were cheaper then washing machines in small towns back then. Not so much these days. Now my ~78y old mom does housework in parents retirement flat because Covid = daily maid who used to come for an hour a day can’t come in.
The maid and gardener families considered it a big win to live there in a nice neighborhood instead of the slum they’d have had to live in otherwise. My family paid them a small salary for house/garden work but bulk of comp was the free rent. I’ll show myself to the guillotine.
