heard about was brought to our attention by miss addy coventry it is pictured on a pam phlet sent to her by her niece mrs e d shelcy who visited the land mark while on a trip mrs sheley incidentally has been visiting her mother mrs j n oneill and her aunt during the past week her home is in birminigham michigan the house in question is the famous paper house at pigeon cove mass it is called a paper house most appropriately because the whole house and furniture are made of boston newspapers a man named mr elis f stcnman with the help of his family began in 1922 to pre pare the paper material to be used in constructing the walls of this un usual house the newspapers were made into different layers each hav ing been pasted and folded the walls when finished consist of two hundred and fifteen thicknesses to make the furniture the newspapers were made into rolls of different sizes they claim in the little brochure about the house that at any time in the future these rolls can be unwound and the print inside will be absolute ly preserved since neither glue nor varnish was used while making the paper rolls the stcnman family began the work of constructing this fabulous full size house merely as an experiment to see what could be done with newspapers without des troying the print the experiment has proved a success both in strength and stability i presume however that the house is used merely as a showplace and is never actually used from the pictures it is a very at tractive bungalow the furnishings look quite com plete and indeed they are according to the list they have made there aie table chairs lamps settee and desk made of the christian science monitor cot made of the history of the world war piano of admiral byrds south and north pole expedi lion writing

made of the rotograv ure section of the boston sunday her ald and new york herald tribune i was telling the family after i read about the paper house that here at last was the idea i have been looking for all these years to use the avalanche of newspapers that inundate the household with regularity just kidding of course heaven help me if they started a project like that in the backyard or anywhere else the paper house is a great novelty for sight seers of course but i think ill con tinue to rely on the boy scout paper drive to relieve the household of our superabundance of newspapers in addition to providing themselves with a source of revenue the boy scouts actually do render us a real service collecting the newspapers and im sure all other people m town feel that way too the georgetown herald wednesday evening april 11 1956 page 5 tells church ladies about prison work miss mollie parker staff member of the elizabeth fry association was guest speaker at the easter thank
