Clothes chute

My father was very inventive and would see something that he could duplicate but he invented many things himself. In the house I grew up in he sort of designed it and thought of things to make life easier for my mother. One thing that most houses do not have is a clothes chute. Upstairs in our two story house he put in a clothes chute right in the center so my mother did not have to haul things down two flights of stairs. She put either a bag or basket below it in the basement. It was nice to holler down also and your voice carried nicely. My present home does not have one so we solved that and moved the washer and dryer upstairs into one room.
