Combination stair : ウィキペディア英語版 | Combination stair A combination stair is an architectural element found in traditional houses in North America where two sets of stairs merge into one at a landing. == Background ==
Large, traditional houses were frequently designed with two stairs: a formal front stairway for use by the family and guests and a utilitarian back stair for use by household staff. The combination stair is a T-shaped compromise design popular in the nineteenth century that was found in some moderate-sized houses.〔''Convenient Houses with Fifty Plans for the Housekeeper'', Louis H. Gibson, 1889〕 In this design, both the formal front stair and the utilitarian back stair ran to a common intermediate landing.〔"combination stair" def. 1. Harris, Cyril M.. ''Illustrated dictionary of historic architecture''. New York: Dover Publications, 1983. 128. Print.〕 One common stair then extended from this intermediate landing to the second floor of the house.
