The images in this gallery were gathered over a period of 20 years by snapshot collector Michael Williams. They are featured in his book, Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America and at The Life and Death of Buildings…
Williams who spent over 15 years gathering these pictures at flea markets, antiques stores, and postcard fairs. The images were taken in South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. Improvements were required by the homesteaders and those improvements were made using, tar paper, sod, bricks and wood. It just had to be sturdy enough to stand."

I also left a comment over at the Tiny House Blog. I remember a picture of my grandfather in a wood wagon on the dirt yard in front of their sod house on the prairie. I've got to get out the old box and find it. - Margy
I have always loved the photos of those tiny prairie houses.
Also the ones of "homes" that were made inside the giant tree trunks
in Oregon and Washington.
