The Paper House
Built in the early 1920s by mechanical engineer Elis F. Stenman, this appears to be an ordinary house at first glance, but it is anything but typical. Nearly the entire house is made of paper, including its walls, furniture, and even decorative elements. Stenman initially began constructing the Paper House as a summer retreat, and he used traditional building materials like wood for the frame, but then he had a novel idea: to use newspaper as insulation. Fascinated by the material’s potential, he expanded his concept and began to cover entire walls and even furniture (such as chairs, desks, and even a functioning fireplace) with layers of varnished newspaper, using as many as 100,000 newspapers to complete the project. Today, the Paper House is maintained as a museum where visitors can marvel at Stenman’s ingenuity and admire the preserved snippets of history embedded in its walls.
