Meet American’s First Tiny Houses. Our Buddy Lloyd Kahn Reminded Us Of This Era Of Pioneer Homebuilding

Meet American’s first tiny houses. Our buddy Lloyd Kahn reminded us of this era of pioneer homebuilding in America’s West. From @messynessychic: 

Common in the late 19th century, houses carved inside massive tree stumps were a staple of life in states like Oregon, Washington and California, where the lumber industry was booming and leaving a veritable sea of beheaded trees in its wake. Crafty by nature, the pioneers took to those wastelands and upcycled the stumps into homes, dancefloors, hotels – you name it.
