1937 Press Photo rock dwelling "apartments" in Medenin, North Africa - mjx79438

America is not the originator of the apartment house. Even before the cliff dwellers of our southwestern states used apartment houses provided by nature, the Tunisians had gone for such dwellings,and they still use them. Here is the front of an "apartment" building cut out of rock in Medenin, North Africa.

Photo is dated 1937.
