I fell in love with the Tenement Museum as soon as we walked into the actual building.  Thinking about how many years the inside of that building has been preserved intrigues me.  The walls, the artwork right by the staircase, the bathrooms.  I couldn’t believe that for an hour, we stood somewhere where a family lived over 100 years ago.  And the fact that the tour guides figured out so much about the families that came through the tenement was amazing!  We heard almost complete stories about two families who lived there so long ago, just by looking at pictures, censuses, history of the time period, and a personal account from someone who grew up there herself.  It was truly amazing.
