Houses Quotes

From centuries-old estates to abandoned parties.

One quote dates back to a 1634 property purchase in the Strand; another describes walking through the homes of kings, queens, and presidents. These quotes treat a house as more than shelter — proof of who lived there and what they built.

In this year 1634, I purchased the moiety of thirteen houses in the Strand for five hundred and thirty pounds.
