The Paper House

It’s Day 55 of Neatorama reader Rich B.’s Great American Roadtrip, and here’s where he is at: the Paper House in Pigeon Cove, Massachusetts.

Elis F. Stenman, with the assistance of his family, began the construction of the Paper House in 1922. For the next twenty years, the Stenmans layered and and pasted and rolled approximately 100,000 newspapers to use in the creation of their two-room dream home.

I’m a know I’m a grammar nazi, but “here’s where he’s at” is horrible, horrible grammar…..it should be “here’s where he is” or “this is where he is.” I’d like to think I can expect more from an intelligent website.

Ma’am, yes, ma’am. Fixed! Thanks Kate, for the fix and for calling Neatorama intelligent.

“two-room dream home” isn’t that a oxymoron? (unless of course you want it to go with your two-hole outhouse).
