📰 Full story on why this happened👇

Deep in Washington County, just outside East Montpelier, sits a 19th-century farmhouse with one of the most bizarre features ever seen on a home tour…

Every wall was covered in newspapers. Not as wallpaper. Not for style. But for insulation.

📍 The Backstory? The Great Depression.
Vermonters in the 1930s couldn’t afford modern insulation, so they got resourceful. Newspapers were layered like armor to block harsh winter drafts — a DIY energy solution before Efficiency Vermont even existed.

🧊 Cold Weather Survival Hack
This farmhouse sat on a windy hill, with brutal winters blowing through the walls. The newspaper was their best defense against frostbite — and it worked.

🗞️ History You Can Touch
Buyers walking through the home found 1933 headlines about prohibition, local elections, and even Babe Ruth. Literal history on the walls.

🏚️ Haunted or Historic?
This home, vacant for over 40 years, became a local legend before it was finally restored in 2018 by a preservationist family who kept sections of the newspaper walls intact.

💡 Modern Takeaway
Real estate isn’t just about square footage — it’s about stories. And this one? Pure Vermont grit.

Would you leave the newspaper up… or strip it off?
