An inventor in the US built a paper house in 1922. Almost nine decades passed, the house still stands strong. The furniture like chairs and table lamps and a piano are all made from paper, all using a glue made from flour, water and apple peels.

Today, this paper house has turned into a tourist attraction.

The appearance of the paper house.

A nice work of art, I saw a pencil made by paper, I think now it is mostly in use but a house is a new news for me.
Amazing………..

You just need to remember one thing. Don't play fire in your house. Otherwise, you will lose everything you have.

一纸房子90年后仍然有效
Yī zhǐ fángzi 90 nián hòu réngrán yǒuxiào


You are right. This house is not for living just for viewing at all.

Dear ATTA,

The title means "一座纸房子屹立90年不倒". "仍然有效" sounds awkward.
