Features & Highlights

  • A poem written in 1929 by the author's mother was the inspiration for this story. Who has not wondered about old houses as they passed by? Who was the builder? Did he take pride in his work? Were the inhabitants always happy or were there hard times? How many people passed through the doors? Old House is a story about one house. It is located in a fictitious valley in the state of Montana U.S.A. Through the course of one hundred years, these are the people who lived, laughed, loved, and cried as they called this old house their home. Each chapter in the book is a story in itself. It begins with the man who built the house in the late 1860s, and it continues with the people who found lodging and refuge in it - from a young man with a bounty on his head, an old man in search of gold, to a woman seeking protection.

Great story

The author does a nice job circling from one resident all the way around to the last. The house becomes the shelter of many a wayward traveler. The description of the location of the house is charming and idyllic. I enjoyed this read very much as I have a penchant for old houses and the people who lived there.
