Plumbing is a very old trade, but modern plumbing as we know today really got a start in New
York, New York City. There was convention that was held- a plumbing convention. A group
of plumbers sat around a table and devised a method of bringing plumbing inside. Prior
to that it had been brought inside but it was just intolerable to live with plus the
safety aspects of it was just unbearable.
So, they devised a system of vents and drains that allowed the water to escape your house
and they created these water seals and that is the basis for what plumbing is, for what
we know today is based upon.
And, um, the South was actually very slow to get into plumbing. I'd say that the concepts
really started around 1870's and part of the North and Northeast, begin getting plumbing,
at that time. But really, indoor plumbing, as we know it today, didn't really hit the
south until after World War II. And at that time, people had disposable income for the
first time and all the products that had been developed as a result of the war, created
the opportunity for people to improve their lives by having indoor plumbing, water running
through their faucets, light coming out of their light bulbs. None of that really occured
in the rural South until after World War II.
