Looking at the picture, and believing the model is accurate, what are the outrigger houses for ? One has a stove pipe so can I assume people lived on their horseboats, at least at times ? I suspect that long deliveries may have necessitated an overnight stay. Was there horseboat racing back then ? If so did people have 6 or {gasp} 8 HP boats ?
