America's First "Tiny Houses" - Newport, RI
One of the most popular concepts in housing is the "Tiny House" movement. The housing trend is a rejection of McMansions and huge gross living space home and a focus of human interaction and use only what you need.
The Tiny House movement has exploded as a new trend, but it's form and function can be traced to American Colonial times and no place may be more emblematic than the Colonial homes built in the 18th and early 19th centuries in Newport, Rhode Island.
One of the core tenets of the Tiny House movement is to free one of excessive housing costs as some Tiny Houses cost less than $50,000. But these 200 to 300 year-old homes in Newport cost between $350,000 and $800,000.
