Old house

many choices. With three of us in residence, the downstairs option would only accommodate two and no one was interested in being marooned in some distant corner of what some locals thought was a haunted house. The rooms in the maid’s quarters had more serious weather damage than in the rest of the house, and they were small and had

Three weeks ago my fiancé, Jenny, and I moved into a beautiful old home in the outer suburbs of Boston. Jenny and I met ten years ago at Boston College and have stuck together as I toiled through medical school and she supported the two of us with her job as a paralegal. I bought this old house to celebrate finishing my residency and as a way to thank Jenny for working so hard to provide for us while I chased my dream of becoming a doctor. I could imagine Jenny and I raising a family and living here

Destruction and Displacement “This is our past. This house is us. Ich bin ein Edwardian house!!” (Gartner 252). Lila suggests in the story “City of My Dreams” by Zsuzsi Gartner; that the Edwardian house is so historically significant, it becomes part of Vancouver, and it becomes part of the individuals who live there. She is suggesting that the city of Vancouver needs to protect the house, so they can sustain their own sense of belonging in Vancouver. If the house or any other place that mediates someone’s

is beautiful outside of the gated communities. I always asked myself "How is Mexico beautiful?" Crossing the border was a lot easier than I expected. Looking out the window, I saw nothing but stray dogs, homeless drunks, and people trying to sell old stuff. It wasn't the image of beautiful I had in my mind. It was around Christmas time so everyone had their worn nativity sets out. We kept driving through Tijuana for what seemed like hours. We stopped for tacos at a little stand on the side of the

The 150-year-old cottage, a paint-peeling two story clapboard, came complete with a detached kitchen and maid’s quarters tucked behind.The four-sided wrap-around porch, half screened, half open, housed wooden rockers, ping pong table, two hammocks and a kid’s dining table. We had arrived at Pawley’s Island, SC, a strip of land three miles long and one house wide. The island included only single-family homes, a couple of boarding houses, an Episcopal Church and weather-beaten wooden pier. Our two-week

Distinctive residential areas occur through housing types, 87% of houses on Jersey street are terraced houses, this is due to the position of Jersey Street on the bid rent curve model. Of the three roads we are analysing, Jersey Street is the closest to the CBD. Because of this the competition for land and space is high, leading to high land values.

our essence, our backbone. When people hear the word “home,” an image of high definition comes into their minds, the colors crisp and the smells precise. I wish I had this luxury. The luxury of attachment. I long for the feeling of walking into a house, and knowing it’s mine; knowing it will never leave and I will never leave it. Being a dependent of the military for fifteen of your seventeen years does this. You learn to become numb to physical objects and pack only the things that matter the most

of Babylon” Benet presents the idea of humans still being around even though society, as it is today, is lost. However, in “There Will Come Soft Rains” Bradbury has no humans in his society. The only thing left of this once thriving city is a house. A house that controls itself. In turn, this causes Benet’s story to be shown from a human's point of view, as shown on page 315 “All the same, when I came to the Place of the Gods.” The first person quotation shows that even though society was destroyed
