    You'd be surprised.  East of State College, PA there is an 18th/19th
century roadhouse.  It is two stories, the second floor being an open
ballroom floor, with a slate roof and three-foot thick walls made of granite
blocks.  There is a fireplace on the ground floor and I was told that
keeping a moderate fire in it through the winter kept the place comfortably
warm.
