Construction
The entire structure is built almost entirely of wood, except for the stone foundations, stone cellar, interior kitchens, and vestibules. The upper parts of the external walls are made of wooden boards lined with laths, plastered and whitewashed. The roof is covered with fir boards referred to by the locals as šinklni. Owing to its height, white façade and many small windows, it gives the impression of an immense, if not monumental building.
Social conditions
In 19th century some 16 people lived in a single house. Each owner rented out at least one apartment. The landlord had a better social status than the tenant, since he reared domestic animals (a pig, rabbits, chickens and occasionally even a cow) and collected rent. The lack of space forced families to live modestly. Quite a lot of imagination was needed to create sufficient sleeping space. The youngest child usually slept in a crib, two children in a drawer – ladlc, and the rest of the children on a wooden bench with a backrest – kanape, or in a straw bed, while in summer young boys often slept in the attic.
Most miners could not afford to have their own house with a vegetable garden, but were usually tenants in private homes and, after 1870, resided in apartment blocks called prhauzi.
