This photo shows one of two Estonian sod huts built northwest of Chester in the early 1900's. The 18' by 45" structure had five rooms and a loft. The bricks used to construct the house were made on site and weighed about 50 pounds each. The house had a wood floor and a shingled roof. The two houses survived almost a century before succumbing to the elements a few years ago.
