Abstract
This report is the result of the research on the ten old private houses in Tokamachi-shi in their restorated original form which are arranged in the chronological order. In one part of the districts along the coast of the Japan Sea, the private houses called "Chu-mon-zukuri" are distributed. This report states how those "Chumon-zukuri" houses had developed in Tokamachi from the beginning of the 18th century through the later years of the 19th century.
