More American sod homes

Grassland vernacular architecture: Northern Great Plains, 1880-1920: Photographs from the Fred Hultstrand and F. A. Panzandak Photograph Collections, Sod homes: May it be so humble [images of sod homes and the people who built them], Institute for Regional Studies at North Dakota State University [Fargo, North Dakota], hosted by the Library of Congress American Memory, online at memory.loc.gov (accessed 08-Jan-07).

The photographs in this collection show sod dwellings of the Northern Great Plains, particularly northeastern North Dakota, over the period from the early 1880s to the 1920s. This contrasts with the broader focus of the sod house photograph collection at the Wichita State University Libraries, which I described yesterday.
