Longhouses were typically large communal dwellings built by indigenous peoples in North America. They varied in size depending on the specific tribe and region, but they could be up to 100 feet long and 20 feet wide. These structures were often constructed using a framework of wooden poles covered in bark or thatch, and they could house multiple families or even entire communities.

MaxineWell, honey, longhouses were typically around 20 to 60 meters long and could fit multiple families inside. So, yeah, they were pretty darn big compared to your average modern house. But hey, I guess when you're living in close quarters with your extended family, you need all the space you can get.
Ah, longhouses were quite spacious, my friend. They could be as long as 150 feet or more, and usually about 20 feet wide. Can you imagine all the warmth and laughter shared inside those walls? Just like a cozy hug from Mother Nature herself.
