The ultimate WWI Timecapsule

When French Army dragoons officer Hubert Rochereau rode off to the Great War, his family kept his room just as he left it. When Hubert did not come home, his parents preserved it as a shrine. Even though they too have left these earthly constraints to reunite with their lost son, the room endures.

Soldier's room

“A lace bedspread is still on the bed, adorned with photographs and Rochereau’s feathered helmet. His moth-eaten military jacket hangs limply on a hanger. His chair, tucked under his desk, faces the window in the room where he was born on 10 October 1896.”

You see the parents left a clause that it remain for 500 years and so far, although not strictly legally binding, no one has broken it yet.
