Summary
"Skinny House" is a true story of perseverance in the face of ruin and a glimpse into the past of the inventive, remarkable people who gracefully 'made it' despite overwhelming societal and financial hurdles. It is a granddaughter's story about the entrepreneurial grandfather she never met. The author weaves the legacy of Nathan Thomas Seely–one of the first African American homebuilders in Westchester County, New York, with the story of his famous, Depression-era, 10-foot-wide Mamaroneck home, and an intimate portrait of the family who lived in the house.--Publisher
