My grandmother lived in two separate houses with names. The first, Willow Grove, burned down in the 3o's. Family lore has it that there was an illegal still in the basement that either caused or contributed to the fire. She then lived in Stono, in Lexington, Va. I don't think she named either place, but I'm not sure a house gets a name.
I think I'd like to name my house, but I don't know. No name is infinitely better than anything other than the perfect name for a house. Organically, the last place I lived took on "The Crackhouse" as a name. I guess organic is better than manufactured, but I'm open to suggestions for the new place. "Crackhouse II" is a little too dumb.
