About Houses with Names

Here you can add pictures of houses that have been given names by their owners. But why do we name our houses: "House naming started many years ago with rich people naming their homes. The rich named their Halls, Houses, Manors, Castles, and Lodges according to ancestry, location, and family titles: Norfolk House (Duke of), Belvoir Castle (overlooking the Belvoir Valley); Castle Droge (named after a 13th ancestor) etc. Gradually over the years other people began to give names to their homes too." - www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/questions/housen...

However, in most cases these days, the rich are not the ones naming their houses and the meanings do not necessarily correspond to what the house actually looks like.

Post your photos of houses with names, some funny ones would be great. Gnomes, murals etc are also welcome.
