Paper covering boards tests warmth in a New England home
The Boston Transcript reports a curious experiment where newspaper pages are used as a wooden exterior cover for a house. The paper swells and bulges with moisture, yet blocks wind and cold, creating an odd but functional insulating layer. The piece notes the material is wood pulp masquerading as newsprint and explores the era's fascination with novel coverings and indexing in fiction.
