Color photograph of the interior of a traditional Catawba bark house. This view shoes the support structure of trimmed branches and saplings, as well as the long bark shingles. Bark houses were arranged around a central fire pit, with an opening in the center of the thatched roof above to allow smoke to escape. Wooden benches were used for sitting and sleeping.
