Tóth Ferenc: A makói ház. A Makói Múzeum Füzetei 30. (Makó, 1982)
Summa ry A house is in constant transformation; its walls are propped up with bricks, its windows are replaced by others, its ceiling is raised, its facade is rendered with plaster. The premises of ^the old peasant houses at Makó were built one behind the other, forming thus a single row running parallel to the protracted roof resting on wooden posts. Over the past two centuries this part has gradually been walled up yielding a closed corridor, then a small room, a small kitchen, a vestibule etc. The inventories of. the 18th and 19th centuries give us a reliable picture of the furniture of the houses and of the equipment of the farms. The equipment and instruments of the households of our days are dealt with separately according to the site, provenance and producer of the given tools, to the date of their manufacture, to the time and occasion of their use, according to their character, function, state and individual peculiarities. The statistical date are summed up on peek-a-boo cards. The lives of the peasants are described on the basis of i nte rviews .
