Which were you back in 1892, pretty slim or non-existent?The homesteader and his wife lived in a single room off their barn here. It was temporary while building their house. Even he complained about these conditions. The main building/barn housed chickens and sheep.
It was the odors and all the critters( mice & chipmunks ) that got into their single room. Both were happy when they could move into the house.
Realize - this was back in 1892 and building coded were pretty slim or non-existent.
