Tenant Houses • There was only one 15 x 16 square foot room that served as a kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedroom for an entire family. The roof was originally covered in wood shingles and the walls were papered with newspapers, some of which date back as far as the Spanish American War. The walls were often covered in the current newspaper or cardboard by tenants to keep the house insulated.
