Having successfully invented the paperclip-bending machine, engineer Elis F. Stenman set out to build a new summer home for himself in Rockport, Mass in 1922, entirely from paper.
He did. It is a marvel.
The Paper House is still standing, and can be toured in the company of Stenman’s grandniece Edna Beaudoin, who inherited the gig from her mother. The varnished paper walls, floor and ceilings are joined by paper furnishings and decorative elements. Stenman’s paper home is electrified and plumbed, and can be toured for the entirely reasonable sum of $1.50.
