I love newspapers, Part 1

 

THE PAPER HOUSE

Located just north of Boston, in Rockport, Massachusetts, is one of the most unique sites you will ever see: The Paper House.

The Paper House is an actual house made from… yes, newspaper!

Built by Mr. Elis F. Stenman, a mechanical engineer who designed the machines that make paper clips, began building his summer home out of paper as a hobby. That was in 1922. Eventually, not only was the house made of paper, but furniture as well, including a piano some intricate and beautiful pieces. 

The paper house is open all day, every day from spring through fall.  The admission is $1.50 for adults and $1.00 for children ages 6 - 14.
