Took a day-after Thanksgiving trip to Oyster Bay, NY
Theodore Roosevelt built his home in 1885 with all the modern technology available of that day. However there was no electric power, so a windmill was used to pump water from the well to a holding tank on the third floor of the home to provide running water.
