Cold water flat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the band, see Cold Water Flat.
A cold water flat is an apartment which has no running hot water.
In most industrial countries, current building codes make cold water flats illegal, but they used to be common in cities such as Detroit and Chicago, through the mid-twentieth century. Also, they typically had no central heating. Tenants would keep warm by use of kerosene or electric space heaters.
