The Paper House is an actual house made from paper.
Newspaper.
It was built by Mr. Elis F. Stenman, a mechanical engineer who designed the machines that make paper clips, began building his Rockport summer home out of paper as a hobby. That was in 1922.
The paper was meant to be good insulation. Eventually, not only was the house made of paper, but furniture as well, including some intricate and beautiful pieces.
To read more about the paper house please go to http://paperhouserockport.com
Hours: The paper house is open 10 am. - 5 p.m., every day from spring through fall.
Admission is $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children ages 6 - 14. Admission is on the honor system

CLUES: enter into the yard and go towards flag pole you will see another rock wall, when you walk towards its look under the cracks in the wall(big rocks kinda on top...picture on atlasquest link.) slightly diagnal from birdhouse.
