 | | A house in its most general sense is a human-built structure with enclosing walls and a roof. |
 | | Houses have been used as living quarters for humans since prehistoric times, when they first became used as an alternative to cave dwellings, and construction materials, styles and methods of construction have varied wildly over time. |
 | | Forms of shelter simpler than a house include dugouts, tents (see also camp), campers, huts, roofs without walls, or a structure with roof and partial walls, such as often at a bus stop (see picture there), and a gazebo. |
