When a Swiss-German settler arrived on the Midwest frontier, he shocked his American neighbors by building what they considered a backwards "housebarn" with his family's living quarters directly above the livestock basement. While other settlers constructed separate cabins and barns, this immigrant carved his home into a hillside with a stone foundation that housed ten cows and horses below his kitchen and bedrooms. His neighbors ridiculed the arrangement as unsanitary and primitive, assuming the family would suffer from odors and disease living so close to their animals. However, as winter set in and other families burned through precious firewood trying to heat their drafty cabins, the Swiss settler's floors remained comfortably warm. The body heat from the large animals below rose naturally through the floorboards, creating a living furnace that required no additional fuel. While his neighbors shivered and rationed wood, this ingenious "bank barn" design provided consistent, cost-free heating that had warmed European homes for centuries.
