The original house was built in the second half of the 19th c. in the village of Tumbalobo, Sevlievo region. It's an example of a typical peasant dwelling from the Balkan region. Its owner practiced one not so profitable craft-he made packsaddles, but he lived mainly on land and stock-breeding. The disposition and the number of the rooms is typical for that period - "kashti"(used as a kitchen and a living-room), "soba"(a sleeping-room) and a big verandah that has auxiliary functions. Here the furniture is quite modest and it corresponds with the social status of the family. The floor is coated with clay. All household belongings are kept in the two rooms - on the floor, on the shelves along the wall and above the fireplace and in the small openings at the upper side of the hearth. The people used to feed on low round tables, sitting on three-legged chairs, and to sleep on the floor-covered with mats, warm goat's hair rugs and thick woolen blankets. The sleeping-room is heated by a blind-stove that is heated through a small opening from the fireplace.
