1900 House: An extraordinary Living Experiment. Viewers time-travel vicariously in this four-part "docu-soap" that transplants a modern family from 1999 to 1900. The series clearly evinces the radical changes in domestic life brought by the scientific and technological innovations of the last 100 years. The Bowler family--parents Joyce and Paul; and four of their five children, 17-year-old Kathryn, 11-year-old twins Hilary and Ruth, and nine-year-old Joe--are taken back in time to the Spring of 1900 in Greenwich, a suburb of London, England. For three months, they live in a charming late-Victorian terraced house on Elliscombe Road, dressing in period clothing and living as a family in 1900 would have lived.
