  House
A house generally has at least one entrance, usually in the form of a door or a portal, and may have any number of windows or none at all.
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.
