I am also trying to include whatever I can about life in the Banat in the early years. My question for now is: How were the houses actually constructed? Their house in Ernsthausen was apparently one big room with two windows on the front. I've seen pictures and there appear to be houses with either one or two windows across the front. Were they built of some kind of concrete blocks, or some kind of adobe type material? What were and how were the roofs constructed? Thank you for any kind of information.
