I grew up with no utilities and an outhouse. We dug it 12 feet deep. Each time you poo'd, you also tossed in a handful of 'compost mixer' which was wood ash, sawdust, and used coffee grounds. This made everything break down into fertile earth quickly. It also prevented it from stinking up too bad, and the wood ash has high PH so it discouraged insects. Basically, we left the earth better than when we started. The science of it is kinda cool.
A Festival I go to called Bloodstock has toilets like these (except you’re up high and there’s a bottom bit they can take away obvs) and I prefer going to them than the normal portaloos! It’s also funny watching everyone in the queue with their lil cup of sawdust 😂
I live in a workers cottage I believe! It’s built in a similar style and it’s a house on the marsh in South Carolina. Small home with lots of random add ons made later on and we believe it was built in the early 1900s or maybe even earlier. We think the house was like an open concept with maybe two bedrooms no bathroom. (And luckily most of the historical touches were kept in the house like the wood floors and beams!)
I live in a workers cottage in south of France ! I believe it was build in the early 1800’s and has always belonged to my family (there was a mine near the town). The house consists of 3 storeys and it’s really small it has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. We managed to keep a lot of the original details such as the wood floor and the brick !
I live in a cottage been past down our family for 5 generations my greatest grandparents built it when they moved here from Germany in the late 1800s it sense has been added on to about 8 times over the years, the original house had a separate building for the kitchen unfortunately it was teared down but we still have the original shed where the bathroom was that we now use it as a garden shed now
Not a workers cottage but I live in Japan in a low-working class apartment and it's super interesting and different from American architecture. Basically there's a long hallway with a door to a bathroom and a kitchenette in one side of the hallway. So your kitchen doubles as the hall to the living area. The living area is split between two floors, a lofted space accessible by a ladder and a lower level which has access to closets and a balcony sliding door. The washing machine is also on the balcony and there is no drier. You hang your clothes on a pre-installed rod on the balcony. It's very space efficient and actually quite spacious if you live alone. ^^
I live in a 1903 farm house, which is super small. The original house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and no separate kitchen area, there was an addition added for a full kitchen but we still only have 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom :). I love it!
I always enjoy how you research the history of the architecture and style of the houses you're building, I also enjoy that you research the updated versions to include in your own build, I always walk away from your builds feeling like I've learned something. Oh and your hair looks amazing! Thanks for the great content as always!
This was so interesting! I love the history portion. I am super interested in architecture and interior design in general, and I don't know much about Australia/Australian homes, so this was fascinating. I really appreciate the extra detail you put in beyond just the build. Thank you!
Hi Deli! I love the build today! Funny enough, in the US the bigger factories/mines would build houses for their workers in a community that resembles this house from Australia. Most still exist today and have been remodeled for a newer lifestyle. Then i remember my grandmother who grew up in the southeast US, using an outhouse and had a well on her property. Funny how we have similar histories from so far away!
I love in a historic building in Boston, MA, USA!! Its so fun. Believe it or not I see so many buildings and homes here that always made me think “deli would make this so well in the sims”
Love learning about Australian Architecture History. This is beautiful and I think your research and presentation is fantastic! Btw Loving the new hair! Gorgeous 🎉😊❤
Love the hair, and loved learning about the history of these types of homes! 😊Ngl, I was vibing so hard with the initial kitchen, it was stunning. It must have been frustrating to have to stick to starter home funds!
Greetings from Singapore!! 👋🏻🇸🇬 ❤ I was stoked that SG was mentioned! You’re right, and they eventually evolved to beautiful historical shop houses that have been pretty iconic since! Give it a Google! X, Jaimie
Would love to see you do a no budget (or bigger budget) version of the worker's cottage with modern add-on as well! Also love the ornate spandrels on some of the examples, what a gorgeous style of home.
The worker's cottage examples you showed were so cute! This series is fantastic, I really enjoy learning about Australia and its culture and history from you by way of the Sims 4. Loved the build!
My Mum and I love your new hairstyle and Unfortunately it has been too hot to play the sims. So We Have Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, ACT, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Northern Territory and Newcrest 😂😂😂 I am joking about Newcrest
I used to live in Kalgoorlie, WA and my old home had a dunny out back as well as a seperated laundry outside! Yes we did have toilets inside too 😂 not sure if that was implemented further on the years
I live in a mail order catalog house! Sears had the most popular ones, but mine is a 1926 Montgomery Ward "Wardway" home. The model is called "The Parkway" and it was less than $2000 at the time. There's a copy of the catalog online and it has all these details and add-ons people could choose along with prices. It's so cool!
I grew up in an area that was built during California's gold rush, many of the workers cottages look just like this. Also, those tin roofs were amazing during a rainstorm!
Love this! I grew up in a house like this we called it a "double fronted victorian". You could see through the floor boards to the dirt underneath and we had an orignal pink sink and bathtub in the bathroom. Alot of these old homes had fun quirks.
I live in a 1890’s “wheelhouse”, which is a two story house that had room for board upstairs for travelers. The property used to include the house next door and a couple barns where they also reshoed horses for travelers (sadly the barns are gone and the house next door was parceled apart). My house is pretty small, 1400 sq ft, and the bathroom was definitely an after thought and not original to the house- likely neither is the kitchen.
I grew up in a Station Masters house in McLaren Vale, SA which was built in 1914. It’s the same sort of design but made from limestone and has a cellar! The bathroom was built over the top of the cellar which was at the back of the house. 😊 my parents have been renovating the house my whole life 😂 and has been published in Australian Country magazine a couple of times! Now I live in a small Queenslander in Brissy and it’s kinda comforting to still be in an old house. 😅
it's called a shotgun house in the USA. This is due it you shoot through the front door, it would go all the way to back. my dream is to own and repurpose a victorian home
Me and my partner we live in a small cottage with the fishing pond in rural France and we have an outhouse for poopoos and pipis as there is no sewage or water connection to our house. We use a well for drinking water and washing and stuff. So yeah as you showed on the pictures there is a bucket that is used for the outhouse and after each use we add a cup of sawdust and than when it is full all ges to the compost pile.
I'm not sure if you would have done it Deli, but when I was in year 6 in small town Victoria we did a school camp to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat and we did a ton of learning about the gold rush era. Of course, small town kid with not a lot much else to do- I fell in love with it and I retained a lot of the knowledge even now 10 years later. This build made me remember how much I loved that camp and how great it was to learn some of Australia's history. I loved that you showed your research before doing the build and I'm so glad you're doing Aussie-inspired builds for Newcrest! Keep up the great work!
my favorite short hairstyle when i have that length is half-up, half-down pigtails! also your architecture history intros are so interesting! when i majored in history here in the US one of my papers was on local workers housing during the railroad era and i included photos of the houses as they are today. i LOVE that you include architecture tidbits in your builds, especially since you're from austrailia and i'm totally unfamiliar with austrialian architecture!!!!! great one, Deli!
also don't live in a worker's cottage by any means but my apartment building was built in 1921 and it is a super strange layout with closed doors and hallways in a small space for heating and cooling purposes. original wood floors and brass hardware with really beautiful french doors! of course it is a fairly affordable rental so all the wooden details on the doors are covered in a million layers of ugly white paint but i love my apartment and its historical character!
I live in a pit house. Built in 1864 in Sunderland. There is a line out the back which is the old train line which leads to the old pit which is now a beautiful country park. My house has high ceilings and triple brick walls. It was originally a one up one down. Everyone would have slept upstairs and ate washed and lived downstairs, also it would have had an outhouse and a yard. It was extended in the 70’s.
I LOVE when you talk about Australian architecture and give a little history before building in the style. Coming from US I love learned about history of other countries.
I live in a mid terrace house in the UK. They were built in the 19th century as housing for factory workers I think. Basically they share a wall and there's usually a line of 10 or more connected houses so you can get a lot of people in a small street. Generally it's alright, but they do have the issue of rodent sharing (so basically if one house gets mice, they can move through the walls into other properties) so you have to make sure your house is completely secure. Also often you hear EVERYTHING from your neighbours on both sides...
I love the history lesson with the build, makes it much more interesting. Also, I noticed the new look in the initial preview and thought 'oh la la, Deli looking even more amazing today' Love the new haircut, suits you really well
I love the little history lesson with each build. I live in an apartment from 1956 in Denmark. Our doors still have the original Bakelite door handles and I have decorated the apartment in Danish Modern style.
Omg I LOVE the short hair! I went short with mine for about a year and have loved it as well (but I'm currently growing mine out again). For short hairstyles, half-up looks tend to work really well. With your center part, half-up space buns would be super cute, as well as little braids in the front either simply hanging down or pulled back.
South Africa also uses alot of that style home. My husband and I bought a workers home that had been extended many times so one day when we're big and have money to spare, the goal is to make more open plan home
Dont live in a workers cottage but in a raised and renovated queenslander. The stilts for circulation is true! Before it was raised and built in it wasn't half as hot in summer and winter. While downstairs is now cold in summer and winter.
This reminds me of shotgun style houses in the US. Shotguns are straight through from one door to another, and you usually have to pass through each room as you move through. This was more "efficient" than wasting space on a corridor. Love the hair, btw :)
Personally loving the short hair on you! It suits your hair type. This length is perfect because you can still wear it straight, wavy, curled, half up half down, headbands, clipped. It looks great! ❤ love the color too!!
2:13 ...and an ooool rocking chaaairrrr 😂 I live in a worker's cottage in Melbourne and it has the airflow hallway, so the front door sees straight to the backdoor. It's very old, so old that the clay pipes are collapsing under the house so we are needing repairs now to fix it up!
Yaaaay another Del'istory lesson (contraction of Deli + history 😂) love when you do the whole architecture/history aspects in your builds ! Such a fun way to learn bits of Australien culture. The hair looks fab ! The build looks good... love how you managed to hide the bin 😅
I LOVE IT DELI! I have the same length and love it so much! I sound a headscarf that I wear at night that helps with the curls and waves I have. If you (or anyone really) wants a link lemme know!
I believe the house I stayed in Freo was a workers cottage! A square with the long hallway, they made it a 3 bedroom place with the living room becoming a room. The bathroom was on the back porch and laundry was in a shed. Lol
In the South in America they are called Mill Houses. The Factories would build them all the same with only subtle differences and they could live there and the rent came out of their pay. Small towns popped up around these groups of houses and the stores were even owned by the companies.
Omg love the short hair so fun! I’ve had short hair my whole life, one of my fave hairstyle is two small Dutch braid into a half top knot mini bun on top ❤
My house is not a worker's cottage and isn't very small either but it was built around 1890 (which is a lot considering my country has only been independent since 1830). Although bigger, it is very long and narrow, like 6x30 meters, all the bedrooms are lined up along one side and have doors connecting them (mine has three different doors, one double that leads to the hallway and the other ones to other rooms). And we do have bathrooms inside but they're like 20 m away from the bedrooms so it's not great haha.
Loved this, I love you explaining the architecture, so interesting! I loved your original kimchen, before you changed it...perfection ❤ Have you considered long whispy bangs? I think you would look fantastic, but in any case, love the new haircut!!! Skritches to Bowser 💕
i also have a bob and i’ve been back and forth between loving it and hating it! i have curly hair so it can be difficult to manage sometimes! but i’m excited to see someone i know getting a bob too!
There are a bunch of mining cities out west in the US that were built with homes like this! Butte, Montana is a great example. Looking forward to when we can download this for own games! You did such an excellent job, and the little history lesson was fascinating.
I love your hair so much! 💕 I also cut my hair that length a year ago after having long hair my whole life and have loved it since!! The length suits you so well, some hairstyles I like to do are pigtails on each side, half up with a bun/ponytail, or a claw clip with a middle part
Great uncle lived in a house built by the cotton mill he worked for. He bought it and raised his family in it. The mill ended up closing and everything went overseas, but my great aunt still owners the house. My cousin has already expressed interest in buying/inheriting it in order to keep it the family.
My dads house in Indiana in the states is set up almost exactly like a workers cottage, its a square with a porch across the whole front and 4 rooms (2 beds, a living and a dining) that all connect with a kitchen and bathroom that was added on later off what would have been the back porch
My nan's house was like this - NSW, Australia! It did have an indoor bathroom but the toilet was still outside 😂 Nan used to put a bucket in the bedroom so we didn't have go out in the dark 🤣 I actually recreated it in Sims recently (as best I could), must get around to uploading it!
LOVE the short hair!! I have short dark thick hair myself and my favorite style is to do two french braids with little buns. looks so good and I think it would be so cute on you!
I chop my hair like this ever couple years. I just recently started using a 3 barrel "crimper" curler to give my hair volume or a simple curling iron to give it a wave.
You are GORGEOUS! This cut fits you amazingly! Half up would look very cute too, or some twisted pieces pulled back with pins away from your face. But it also looks amazing how you've styled it here!
Hey Deli, I live in a house from the 1840s, which used to be a farm house. I think its so cool to see your building of Newcrest and you implementing the little history lessons! Luv from Germany
In Finland we have these earth closets, they are pretty common here. We call them "ulkohuussi" or just "huussi". Usually you can find those at cottages. It is the thing!! 😂💅🏻✨
Ooh I love the haircut! And the gentle waves ^_^ If you naturally have any curls/waves you should look up the curly girl method -curls/waves work so much better with short hair for me and it would look so nice on you! But if you have straight hair, the occasional waver/curler always works too :)
i live in a 4th generation home built in the slavery days. it’s an old slave owner home with no doors; just archways, no bathroom, and one bedroom. each generation added on the house over time and now it looks better than the photo from back then of it. it’s still pretty cool to think about it. the house looks like the house you’re basing it off of. pretty cool stuff to learn yk? 😁❤️
Love the short hair on you! ❤ I feel the same way about the tiles in the new home chef pack. They are cute but the pattern makes them hard to be versatile.
your hair looks amazing! as a ex fellow short hair girly, i always loved getting the mini clips and pulling two strands back in a twisting motion and clipping it with the mini clip in the back. Also, you do such a great job at making Australian styled houses, i feel like i have seen so many similar looking houses irl. We have an old dunny in back yard, (scariest place) lol.
I would love to see you look at housing trust houses. It might be a south australia thing but i see alot where i live. In fact a lot of my friends brought ex-housing trust houses as they are usually cheaper then the normal house. Key features are, there is always the same 2 or 3 floor plans, they are always a duplex where the front doors either face each other or face the oposite direction, they are 3 bedroom but all the rooms are small and the toilet is always next to the laundry at the back of the home and the bathroom is near the bedrooms. The bathroom has only a shower and a tiny (and i mean tiny) bath and a sink with barely enough space to walk and Most people use the large laundry sink to wash their hands after using the toilet cause the toilet room is so small you cant fit a sink and the bathroom is too far away. The bathroom and laundry is always at the back of the house and the laudry acts like a mid room of sorts and opens onto a back verandah and there if the front doors face each other there is usually a verandah covering both front doors. Many who buy ex-housing trust homes remove the wall between the loungeroom and kitchen/dining in order to have a more open and larger living area and some will build extentions, usually building in the back verandah for an extra room and some who are lucky enough to see two ex-housing trust homes in the same duplex for sale will buy both and knock down walls between them for larger rooms.
To me this sounds an awful lot like our shotgun homes(In Florida). Shotgun homes are usually narrow, but they have a similar concept. One doorway across from another to create a breezeway(It's where they get there names because in theory you could shoot a shotgun straight through one open door and out the other). Where I'm at in the Tampa Bay Area, these homes were used as homes for the cigar factory workers in Ybor City because they were cheap and easy to make.
Girl the hair suits you so well.
You look absolutely stunning!! 😍

Deli is really selling herself short with these video titles. This isn't a generic sims build at all! Very informative and fascinating!
Loving the short history lesson with each architecture type! This enriches your videos for me.
I agree!!
I learned so much I love it
Me too, it's amazing!
I love this format of combining Australian history with your builds! ❤
Edited to add that I also love the new haircut!
I live in a workers cottage I believe! It’s built in a similar style and it’s a house on the marsh in South Carolina.

Omg living in the south of France is literally my dream
Love the chop Deli, looks very fresh and fun!

The workers cottage reminded me of shoutgun homes in New Orleans! Not the same, but so similar. Love the new hair! ❤
I was thinking the same thing
I thought of this right away too! I’m loving the history elements in these videos!
I thought about the shotgun type of houses too.
Reminded me of a Bahamian Conch Cottage I once built for a collab, they’re also all about airflow
This was so interesting! I love the history portion. I am super interested in architecture and interior design in general, and I don't know much about Australia/Australian homes, so this was fascinating. I really appreciate the extra detail you put in beyond just the build. Thank you!

Reallly enjoying hearing the background and history around the styles of houses you’re building 😍 really brings the houses to life!
Would love to see you do a no budget (or bigger budget) version of the worker's cottage with modern add-on as well! Also love the ornate spandrels on some of the examples, what a gorgeous style of home.

I used to live in Kalgoorlie, WA and my old home had a dunny out back as well as a seperated laundry outside! Yes we did have toilets inside too 😂 not sure if that was implemented further on the years
There's nothing more cathartic than listening to rain falling on a tin roof ❤
Soo cute. At 11:39 you can hear the dog snoring.

Lots of people in Cuba where im from have houses similar to these with outhouses that are built into the ground.
The hair suits you! You look great! 😌

I live in a worker's cottage in Melbourne and it has the airflow hallway, so the front door sees straight to the backdoor. It's very old, so old that the clay pipes are collapsing under the house so we are needing repairs now to fix it up!
Absolutely LOVE 💕 your hair cut Deli!! It’s giving adult flirtalicious vibes! Without making you look older!! And your makeup is on point too!
I live in a renovated workers cottage the floor plan is still original, same with the roof and trim colour (which is green 😅)
Deli is my favorite history teacher now
I love the history lesson with the build and your hair looks fabulous!
Your new hair looks amazing!! 💓
Yaaaay another Del'istory lesson (contraction of Deli + history 😂) love when you do the whole architecture/history aspects in your builds ! Such a fun way to learn bits of Australien culture.
The hair looks fab !
The build looks good... love how you managed to hide the bin 😅
I LOVE IT DELI! I have the same length and love it so much! I sound a headscarf that I wear at night that helps with the curls and waves I have. If you (or anyone really) wants a link lemme know!
I believe the house I stayed in Freo was a workers cottage! A square with the long hallway, they made it a 3 bedroom place with the living room becoming a room. The bathroom was on the back porch and laundry was in a shed. Lol
Love the hair! The curling tong is amazing and olaplex oil for dressing them out they’re my go to things as a hairdresser
In the South in America they are called Mill Houses. The Factories would build them all the same with only subtle differences and they could live there and the rent came out of their pay. Small towns popped up around these groups of houses and the stores were even owned by the companies.
Omg love the short hair so fun! I’ve had short hair my whole life, one of my fave hairstyle is two small Dutch braid into a half top knot mini bun on top ❤
Deli you should try the decades challenge!!!
My house is not a worker's cottage and isn't very small either but it was built around 1890 (which is a lot considering my country has only been independent since 1830). Although bigger, it is very long and narrow, like 6x30 meters, all the bedrooms are lined up along one side and have doors connecting them (mine has three different doors, one double that leads to the hallway and the other ones to other rooms). And we do have bathrooms inside but they're like 20 m away from the bedrooms so it's not great haha.
Loved this, I love you explaining the architecture, so interesting! I loved your original kimchen, before you changed it...perfection ❤ Have you considered long whispy bangs? I think you would look fantastic, but in any case, love the new haircut!!! Skritches to Bowser 💕
i also have a bob and i’ve been back and forth between loving it and hating it! i have curly hair so it can be difficult to manage sometimes! but i’m excited to see someone i know getting a bob too!
I love the first 5 minuts!!!! now onto the build :) short hair really suit you!!! You are slaying it.
The house inspo you described as a long and narrow two storey cottage is basically what every standard terraced house in the U.K. looks like 😂😂
OMG this hairstyle look so good on you, you're glowing! 😭❤ And thank you for this little history lessons, would love to hear more!
There are a bunch of mining cities out west in the US that were built with homes like this! Butte, Montana is a great example.
Looking forward to when we can download this for own games! You did such an excellent job, and the little history lesson was fascinating.
I love your hair so much! 💕 I also cut my hair that length a year ago after having long hair my whole life and have loved it since!! The length suits you so well, some hairstyles I like to do are pigtails on each side, half up with a bun/ponytail, or a claw clip with a middle part
Great uncle lived in a house built by the cotton mill he worked for. He bought it and raised his family in it. The mill ended up closing and everything went overseas, but my great aunt still owners the house. My cousin has already expressed interest in buying/inheriting it in order to keep it the family.
Your hair looks amazing, I love a shorter hair myself for handiness 😅
My dads house in Indiana in the states is set up almost exactly like a workers cottage, its a square with a porch across the whole front and 4 rooms (2 beds, a living and a dining) that all connect with a kitchen and bathroom that was added on later off what would have been the back porch
I loveeeee the bit of history lesson in the beginning! Look at me learning about Australian architecture as an American! Thank you Deli!!!
My nan's house was like this - NSW, Australia! It did have an indoor bathroom but the toilet was still outside 😂 Nan used to put a bucket in the bedroom so we didn't have go out in the dark 🤣 I actually recreated it in Sims recently (as best I could), must get around to uploading it!
Deli your haircut is sooooo good, you look amazing!
Oh thank you!
LOVE the short hair!! I have short dark thick hair myself and my favorite style is to do two french braids with little buns. looks so good and I think it would be so cute on you!
I chop my hair like this ever couple years. I just recently started using a 3 barrel "crimper" curler to give my hair volume or a simple curling iron to give it a wave.
Deli! New content idea - home and interior design history! Seriously, I'd watch the heck out of that each week! (No Sims tie-in even needed!)
You are GORGEOUS! This cut fits you amazingly!
Half up would look very cute too, or some twisted pieces pulled back with pins away from your face. But it also looks amazing how you've styled it here!
Hey Deli, I live in a house from the 1840s, which used to be a farm house. I think its so cool to see your building of Newcrest and you implementing the little history lessons! Luv from Germany
Gosh darn, amazing video! not just the building but that initial part of the video talking about history vs the modern day. amazing!
I used to live in an old horse stable. The house was really small, but the hallway was 12 meters long!
In Finland we have these earth closets, they are pretty common here. We call them "ulkohuussi" or just "huussi". Usually you can find those at cottages. It is the thing!! 😂💅🏻✨
Ooh I love the haircut! And the gentle waves ^_^ If you naturally have any curls/waves you should look up the curly girl method -curls/waves work so much better with short hair for me and it would look so nice on you! But if you have straight hair, the occasional waver/curler always works too :)
i live in a 4th generation home built in the slavery days. it’s an old slave owner home with no doors; just archways, no bathroom, and one bedroom. each generation added on the house over time and now it looks better than the photo from back then of it. it’s still pretty cool to think about it. the house looks like the house you’re basing it off of. pretty cool stuff to learn yk? 😁❤️
Love the short hair on you! ❤ I feel the same way about the tiles in the new home chef pack. They are cute but the pattern makes them hard to be versatile.
"Kimchen" is a word that always brings me joy 😭
I lived in a workers cottage in Perth for a while. The smallest bedroom had been converted into a bathroom.
I put this in my game recently and came back to find the build. I love it so much, so quintessentially Australian and a dream to play!
Also, I DO live in a workers cottage! A typical Queenslander style though where over the years they kept closing in the verandahs to make more rooms 😅
your hair looks amazing! as a ex fellow short hair girly, i always loved getting the mini clips and pulling two strands back in a twisting motion and clipping it with the mini clip in the back.
Also, you do such a great job at making Australian styled houses, i feel like i have seen so many similar looking houses irl. We have an old dunny in back yard, (scariest place) lol.
I live in a pre World War I small one bedroom apartment in NYC. Love this build and your brief workers cottage history! Thanks Deli!
I would love to see you look at housing trust houses. It might be a south australia thing but i see alot where i live. In fact a lot of my friends brought ex-housing trust houses as they are usually cheaper then the normal house. Key features are, there is always the same 2 or 3 floor plans, they are always a duplex where the front doors either face each other or face the oposite direction, they are 3 bedroom but all the rooms are small and the toilet is always next to the laundry at the back of the home and the bathroom is near the bedrooms. The bathroom has only a shower and a tiny (and i mean tiny) bath and a sink with barely enough space to walk and Most people use the large laundry sink to wash their hands after using the toilet cause the toilet room is so small you cant fit a sink and the bathroom is too far away. The bathroom and laundry is always at the back of the house and the laudry acts like a mid room of sorts and opens onto a back verandah and there if the front doors face each other there is usually a verandah covering both front doors. Many who buy ex-housing trust homes remove the wall between the loungeroom and kitchen/dining in order to have a more open and larger living area and some will build extentions, usually building in the back verandah for an extra room and some who are lucky enough to see two ex-housing trust homes in the same duplex for sale will buy both and knock down walls between them for larger rooms.
To me this sounds an awful lot like our shotgun homes(In Florida). Shotgun homes are usually narrow, but they have a similar concept. One doorway across from another to create a breezeway(It's where they get there names because in theory you could shoot a shotgun straight through one open door and out the other). Where I'm at in the Tampa Bay Area, these homes were used as homes for the cigar factory workers in Ybor City because they were cheap and easy to make.
