A house built out of Newspapers
This house is similar to the usual log structure, but it is only at first glance. In fact, it is completely made of paper, or rather of old Newspapers. Newspaper house is located in Rockport, in the United States. Driving through the streets of pigeon hill, take your time and visit this place.
Paper house appeared in 1922, when a mechanical engineer Alice Stenman began to build a small summer house. Was laid the usual Foundation, but when it came to the walls, Stenman began to visit various original ideas. In the end, the walls are Paper Houses made up of layers of old Newspapers, glued together with a good layer of lacquer. Everything else in the paper house is also made of Newspapers. Stenman created chairs, tables, bookshelves, clocks and even a curtain from the pages of Newspapers and magazines. Only a piano is made of wood and covered with paper to maintain the homogeneity of the interior and the chimney is made of bricks for all of the obvious reasons.
No one is sure what caused Sanmina to use Newspapers. His descendants suggest that he wanted to try cheap and readily available insulating material during the great depression. We used a homemade glue from flour, water and Apple peel. It is also possible that Stenman just loved the paper as he worked on designing machines to create paper clips. Initially, he planned to cover the exterior walls of the trolley, but the paper survived the first winter so well that additional protection was unnecessary. Stenman finished the house in just two years and lived in it until 1930, along the way, continuing his experiments in paper processing. For twenty years he used about 100,000 Newspapers.
After ninety years, the upper layers of walls slowly begin to clear from the paint, opening fragments of articles and advertisements from the past. Visitors are immersed in the story and reading the news since the great Depression. On the Desk you can read about the history of the transatlantic flight of Charles Lindbergh, while a radio Cabinet covered with news about the presidential campaign of Herbert Hoover. Piano shows newspaper reports about the expeditions of Admiral Byrd to the North and South pole. After the death Stenman in 1942, the house was turned into a Museum.
