  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• Ian Sanderson said:

  They look so houseproud.

• AussieGold said:

  This is awesome! I wonder if any of these types of houses have been preserved by National Trust?

• Ian Sanderson said:

  AussieGold There are some in Kosciuszko National Park and the Alpine National Park in Victoria. Most are a little more substantial than this, but the principle is the same. Kosciuszko Huts Association. I doubt that this hut is in KNP. This is Horse Camp Hut, in the KNP.

  The houses remind me of the ones described in Zora Neale Hurston's book "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

  Houses like this were common in Southeast Texas and Lousianna into the 1980's.

• If you need to know, then you know said:

  Can you really say "negro"?

• Ceridwen said:

  I think you should be able to say "negro," although I haven't actually heard it used in years. There might be some people offended by it (you can always find somebody who is offended by something) but it doesn't have the deadly taboo status of that other "n word."
