Boot house

Boot house

The Boot houses were built in the United Kingdom after World War I to house the service men and women coming home from war. They were named after a Mr Boot. The houses were built using concrete, therefore the exterior walls all now need to be reconstructed to meet building standards.

As buildings, they were somewhat more substantial than the "prefabs" built after World War II.
