House Wrapped In Newspapers

Built by Elis Stemnan, the mechanical engineer who invented the machine that makes paper clips, the Paper House of Rockport is one of the most fascinating tourist attractions in Massachusetts, USA. The Paper House was built in 1922, with a common wooden structure.

But like all amateur inventors, Mr. Stemnan was curious, so he decided to use his new house to find out if paper offered good enough insulation. He covered an entire wall with layers upon layers of rolled newspapers. One thing led to another, and Elis Stemnan ended up wrapping the whole house in rolled newspapers. The interior of the house is also completely made of paper.
