Out of the cave, the tribal teepee, the pueblo, the community fortress, man emerged to build himself a house of his own with a shelter in it for himself and his diversions. Every age has seen it so.

But in each civilization, as it advanced, those who could afford it chose the luxury of a withdrawing-place.”
