John Knox House, popularly known as "John Knox's House", is a historic house in Edinburgh, Scotland, reputed to have been owned and lived in by Protestant reformer John Knox during the 16th century.

Cube houses (Dutch: kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam. Their architect Piet Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. The houses are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.

The "Mushroom Houses" of Charlevoix, Michigan are an amazing collection of unique homes designed and built from 1918-1975, by self-taught architect Earl Young. The homes, also nicknamed "Gnome Homes", are constructed of local materials like limestone, boulders, and field stone, with cedar shake roofs. They are designed to blend into the landscape. Young built 26 of these homes, and four commercial buildings in Charlevoix.
This house, and other examples of Mushroom Houses, are on Park Street, built in a site with a view of Lake Michigan.

This pretty house has been often used as a location for period films. There's also an excellent pub, The Red Lion right next door selling Brakespeare's ales.
Pretty far away from this wren and her nesting box. Did not want to cause undue stress by getting too close. She was nesting in a Bluebird box placed in Clallam County for bluebirds. A House Wren nested in one of the Bluebird boxes last year too.

Little Moreton Hall, also known as Old Moreton Hall, is a moated half-timbered manor house in Cheshire, England.[The earliest parts of the house were built for the prosperous Cheshire landowner William Moreton in about 1504–08, and the remainder was constructed in stages by successive generations of the family until about 1610. The building is highly irregular, with three asymmetrical ranges forming a small, rectangular cobbled courtyard. A National Trust guidebook describes Little Moreton Hall as being "lifted straight from a fairy story, a gingerbread house".] The house's top-heavy appearance, "like a stranded Noah's Ark", is due to the Long Gallery that runs the length of the south range's upper floor.
The house remained in the possession of the Moreton family for almost 450 years, until ownership was transferred to the National Trust in 1938. Little Moreton Hall and its sandstone bridge across the moat are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and the ground on which Little Moreton Hall stands is protected as a Scheduled Monument.] The house has been fully restored and is open to the public .
At its greatest extent, in the mid-16th century, the Little Moreton Hall estate occupied an area of 1,360 acres (550 ha) and contained a cornmill, orchards, gardens, and an iron bloomery with water-powered hammers. The gardens lay abandoned until their 20th-century re-creation. As there were no surviving records of the layout of the original knot garden it was replanted according to a pattern published in the 17th century.

Hampstead, London. No admiral has lived here since it was built in 1700 but it has had an interesting occupancy. The plaque is for George Gilbert Scott, the architect famous for designing the red phone boxes, who lived here from 1856 to 1865. An Admiral Barton who lived nearby used to fire a cannon from his roof and this was mistakenly attributed to this house. However, the tale became the inspiration for P.L.Travers character 'Admiral Boom' in her book 'Mary Poppins' and this house was used in the subsequent 1964 movie of the same name to film those scenes.
