Katrina houses!
Sissy here is the picture you were asking about...Katrina houses are cute but small.
This is called a 'Shotgun House' and there were hundreds of these little narrow houses all lined up in a row. This house looks really good ~ has been fixed up (Post Hurricane). They were all mostly built out of old wood. Check out to see an example of some homes on a cotton plantation (these are mostly square, not long shotgun types) but still authentic and a wonderful true experience to stay in a real cotton picker's home http://www.shackupinn.com. Al and I boondocked there and just had a blast. Located in Clarksdale, MS right in the heart of Blues Country. What fun people have here. These comments are for your friends who were not aware of this. I am no way a true historian. XXXOOO Hugs

Those pictures of the small houses look like what we'd call park models!
