In the 1950s, most people lived in thatched and adobe houses, with walls made of adobe, clay, and mud.

Wheat straw was added to enhance the adhesion and toughness of the walls.

However, adobe houses were prone to cracking, had many mice, and could collapse due to wind, rain, and long-term disrepair, requiring annual renovation.

Wooden houses were more common in southern rural areas during this period, and the main structure of doors and windows was also made of wood.

Even better floors would be paved with wooden boards or leveled with stones, while worse ones would have neatly compacted soil floors.

Wooden houses are cost-effective, but they are susceptible to termite erosion and have poor fire and moisture resistance.

Large amounts of logging and building houses also damage the natural environment.
