We've been looking at Robert Swain Gifford's illustrations for Edgar Allen Poe's stories today. His Usher house is a curious representation, less off kilter and grandly gloomy than most, almost a quietly overgrown cottage, but very, very lonely.

#ArtThisHouse recommends this one be hung in your study, where you can contemplate the isolation of the home (and whether or not you should add a turret to yours).
