Paper House Made from Newspaper!
Now, we have seen newspaper chairs and newspaper benches but a house made out of newspapers?
The Paper House was constructed mostly from newspapers including 1-inch thick glue-and-varnish covered
newspaper walls.
The framework to the house is wood-just like any other house-it has a regular wood-en floor and wooden roof. The wall material, which was supposed to be insulation really, is pressed paper about an inch thick. It’s just layers and layers of newspaper, glue, and varnish on the outside that keeps it pretty water-proof actually. This was done in 1924 and he lived here in the summertime up until 1930.
