[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP, sorry I see I had a typo in my post. I meant do I want to keep stairs that were expressly built for servants, that seems wrong!

I could just call them stairs, but I would always know they were really meant for maids who were to not be to seen on the regular stairs. That's just kind of gross to me.[/quote]

Good grief.  People still have servants.  You do know that, right?  Do you have a housekeeper?  Gardner?  Nanyy?  Anything of the sort?  What exactly do you think those jobs are?  We just don't call them servants, but those professions are to...perform a domestic service, aka serve.  Servant, one that performs duties about the person or home of a personal employer.[/quote]

We had these overseas when we had someone working for us for full time. You know what? They were useful. We all used them. You could cut through to another part of upstairs from downstairs. And, to be honest, if we were entertaining a more intimate crowd, we didn't necessarily need our staff interacting with those were were entertaining. It would just be awkward for everyone and it felt more private this way. [/quote]
