"House," "dwelling," "residence" and "home" are terms applied to a place to live in. "Dwelling" is now chiefly poetic, or used in legal or technical contexts, as in a lease or in the phrase "multiple dwelling." "Residence" is characteristic of formal usage and often implies size and elegance of structure and surroundings; ... These two terms and "house" have always had reference to the structure to be lived in. "Home" has recently taken on this meaning and become practically equivalent to "house," the new meaning tending to crowd out the older connotations of family ties and domestic comfort. 1, record 1, English, - house
