I bring them inside in the winter and hang our clothes in the basement. We don't even own a dryer, and all our wash is done in a Maytag wringer washer made in 1957. It's a little more effort, but we save a TON on water and electricity. Clotheslines are, in my opinion, an absolute necessity for a retro house. I own two of the newer ones.

I run a child care business and I have one that I attached to one wall and a hook to temporarily attach it to another wall and I pull it out to hang art work to dry! Does a super job and it is high enough so the kids can't touch it. I live where the winters are very cold so hanging laundry out to dry this time of year doesn't really work but I love that I found another way to use such a simple device :) I have another way to use this!
