The two words

The two words "house" and "home" have distinctly different meanings and connotations. "House" refers to the physical object, "home" has a more abstract and poetic connotation as of family life. Enlisted men during World War II used the phrase "A house is not a home" — in part to justify infidelity during war-time.nd the basic functionality of providing "a roer o head" or of serving a a fhearth and home". When a house becomes a display-case for wealth and/or fashion and/or conspicuous consumption, we may speak of a "great house". The residen feudal lord or of a ruler may require defensive structures and thus turn into a fort or a castle. The house of a monarch may come to house courtiers and officers as well as theily: this sort of house may become a palace. And in time the lord or monarch may wish to treat to a mliday house or cottage, also known as a crib.
In contrast to a relatively upper-class or modern trend to multiple houses, much of human history shows the importance of multi-purpose houses. Thus the house long served as the traditional place of work (the original cottage aturing, for example, a ground-floor "ship-front" shop or counter or office, with living-space above).

The first train stations in the modern sense were on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, opened in 1830. Today Manchester's Liverpool Road station is preserved as part of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. It resembles a row of Georgian houses [1].
In rural and remote communities across Canada and the United States passengers wanting to board the train had to literally flag the train down in order for it to stop. Such stations were known as "Flag stations".
