The Architecture is one of the main identities of Meemure. The villagers build eco-friendly homes using clay and Spear Grass which lasts for over three decades. But the most unique aspect of their buildings are their boundary walls made of quartz. Before cardamom cultivation was banned due to the forest Preservation Act that Meemure Villagers earned their bread by harvesting the Spice. After this they shifted to Chena cultivation, paddy cultivation and pepper cultivation.
Nowadays some of the peasants earn their living by taking care of jiggery palms which produce toddy and treacle. The Village has one tiny village shop where the locals buy necessities such as salt and sugar and no cable telephone or mobile network signals.
