Cool to learn how our ancestors kept cool, thanks to Shelton History Center

Shared from the Shelton History Center Facebook page:

"Prior to the invention of air conditioning, people would close the shutters on their homes to keep their houses cool on hot summer days.

"This photo from our collection shows the shutters closed at [the] Brownson House on a hot July day in 1906 to keep the heat out. 

"Setting not looking familiar? This photo is from when the house was on Shelton Avenue!"
