manitowoc wi homes for sale - slanted ceilings

Why do Manitowoc wi homes for sale have so many slanted roofs in bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, or stairways?  Have you noticed the majority of Manitowoc wi homes built between the late 1800's up till the mid 1960's seem to take the gold metal when it comes to slanted ceilings?  Post WWI, many Manitowoc wi homes were built as affordable as possible since materials at the turn on the century were wildly more expensive than labor.  By the 1940's many of the single family Manitowoc wi homes were converted into two-family homes to ease tight budgets.  Many homes stuffed their walls with newspaper insulation, while some were built with no insulation at all.  As time progressed into the late 60's through the present date of the 20th century, Manitowoc wi homes builders are packing homes with the best possible insulation and energy saving windows/doors as possible.  Building green is in currently do to the growing concern for the environment, as well as lowering monthly energy bills.  If you would like more information on Manitowoc historic properties please contact yours truly.  Happy New Year.
