Very sad photograph, hopefully they were living in the little cottage down the road.

That was how the poor lived. It is their home made of sod and thatched roof.

Niall McAuley John A. Coffey CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY I have some memory there were houses (is that the correct word?) very similar to this one built on farming land in early USA history? Perhaps by Irish settlers.

It surely looks like a sod house. A grim way of life.

beachcomber australia Thanks, we've added a c.1911 date. For other Flickerites here is the Wikipedia link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat_Island about Peat Island that beachcomberaustralia found.

More about Peat Island - scratchingsydneyssurface.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/5-march... , including details of a recent book. I wonder if that building is the 'sewing room' mentioned? " The smaller of the two islands, which was Peat Island (earlier known as Rabbit Island), was to be for women. In a major engineering work, the island was cleared of vegetation and levelled to bedrock. Two ward buildings, a kitchen and sewing room were erected between 1902 and 1904. "
