A decaying A-frame stands here, barely vertical against the tall iron
fence to the north.  Long weeds and short dandelions grow through cracks in
the porch, and aside from the various parasitic and natural fauna, not much
appears to have lived here in a long time.  A few stones, arranged in a
circle, seem to outline the interior of the house and eventually make their
way through the western wall, and out south before coming back in the front
door.  It seems likely that a spell was once placed on the area, because no
bugs or insects have invaded, and the wood is termite-free.  It must have
been a particularly powerful one, because even now, likely centuries after
the spell was bound to the dirt, the air is still free of flies and no ants
crawl up your leg.  It therefore is probable that this house was once quite
a bit more pleasant to look at, and was inhabited by a person very well
learned in the magical arts.
