The Front of the House:
The house is made of red brick with a slight dilapidated look about it, although it is being fixed up rather nicely. Two tall pine trees block the view from the road a little, but there is a black iron gate in between them which leads up the stone path to the porch. To the left of the walk is a white fountain, the base of which is surrounded by beautiful flowers. A few stairs lead to the front porch, which wraps around the house slightly. There is a forest green door directly up from the stairs with the white number 605 on it, and also a sign reading "Astoria Boys' Lodging House".

First Floor:

Front Entryway:
Opens directly to a hallway with rooms branching off to the sides. There is a grand staircase leading up the left side of the hallway and to the second floor. To the right of the bottom of the staircase is the door leading to the front room, and the door to the left of the staircase leads to the parlor. Straight down the hallway, past the stairs, is the kitchen. There is a coatrack or two just inside the entryway but hardly anyone uses them because boys aren't usually that tidy. Beside the staircase is a chair and a desk, occupied by Miroslav when he's bored, mostly. The floor creaks a little just in front of the stairs, but it has been decided that is because too many people jump down the stairs and land there with vigor.

Front Room:
All the couches in this room, the whole two of them, are positioned facing the fireplace on the far wall when one enters the room. The room is dimly lit, as is most of the house, and the curtains are the lightest objects in the room, being of a light gray colour. The couches are both a dark green colour, slightly faded with age. By the fireplace is a metal rack used to hold firewood, and it is usually full despite the season because it tends to be cold in the house.

Parlor:
The wall to the right side of the doorway is taken up by a bookshelf full of plenty of classics to keep avid readers happy. Furniture in this room of the house is predominately armchair, which are various colours with no real method to the pattern or colour. They are arranged in a hodge podge fashion with an end table or two thrown into the mix, usually with books piled on top. There is a large storybook window opening to this room, which provides it with a bit more light than the front room.

Kitchen:
There is a small wooden table in the middle of the kitchen with a few chairs around it. The counter covers the far wall and part of the wall to the right when walking into the kitchen. There is a line of cupboards above the counter which contains place settings and different food when stocked. Usually a bowl of fruit sits out on the table in the middle of the kitchen, but the bread and such is stored in the cupboard. The faucet is on the far left of the counter, right by the range. Normally nary an item is cooked in the kitchen, as the girl's house always provides better food.

Dining Room:
Branches off from the right of the kitchen, has a much larger table and seating for around twenty people. Not often is this room used, but it is there and used predominately to collect dust. On holidays there are dinners held and it is actually used, but not usually. There is a door that leads from the dining room to the front room, but not many people use it.

Back Hallway:
This hallway is linked to the outside world with the side door of the house. In this hallway are a few hooks on the wall, on which to hang up coats, and three doors. When one walks through the side door, they are facing two door side by side. The door on the left leads into the kitchen, and the one on the right leads down to the basement. The third door directly to the right when one walks into the back hallway. There are a few steps up, and then the door. This door leads to a staircase which takes the person up to the second floor, at the end of the hallway where the bunkroom is.

Second Floor:

At the top of the grand staircase there is a balcony that overlooks the entryway. Also at the top, it splits to two hallways. One leads straight back from the balcony, and the other branches off to the right. To the right is Brother Steven's abode.

Brother Steven's Room:
No lodgers are allowed back into his part of the house, save Miroslav. Of course, if there is an emergency and he is needed the rule no longer stands, but for the most part it is an area only available to Brother Steven himself, or to Miroslav when he's cleaning or delivering a message from Father Samuel, or some other miscellaneous task which requires Brother Steven at all. Not many reasons a lodger would want to go there anyway, other than curiosity. It's just a plain bedroom and it has a small room branching off of it where Brother Steven goes to pray, also not extravagant.

To the left is the bunkroom and the washrooms. Also, there is a sickroom and a guestroom on this side of the second floor.

Bunkroom:
Symmetrically lined against the walls on either side are ten beds with iron frames, usually not made unless they are unoccupied. The room goes long-ways, so to walk down the narrow path between the bunks, one must go in and turn to the right past the first bunk. It is by far the biggest room in the house, seeing how it has to fit twenty beds. The blankets that should be on the beds, but are more than likely on the floor, are a deep forest green. Beside each of the beds is an ebony night stand, and each night stand has an oil lamp on it. Each lodger has his own night stand, and only he and God knows what he puts in it, because no one else is daring enough to go poking around in them. The view from the windows, which are positioned behind the beds along the far wall, shows a small yard, but mostly the street. There are no curtains on the windows, so when the sun rises it can wake people up.

Washroom:
The next door in the hallway to the left, but it is on the right side of the hallway, whereas the door to the bunkroom had been on the left. Inside are many sinks, ten to be precise, lining the wall to the left with a mirror between each set of two. There is a cabinet in the corner to the left of them, containing soap and other hygienic things. On the wall opposite the sinks are five tubs and five toilets. The toilets had stalls around them, and the tubs curtains.

Sickroom:
This room is down the hall and the next door on the left. There is a solitary bed inside with a night stand by it as well. On the side of the bed without the night stand is a small chair, in case the person who has taken ill needs someone to stay with them. There is a curtain partitioning off part of the room, where there is a sink, tub, and a toilet for their convenience. On that side of the curtain there is also a small cupboard containing a few extra blankets, and towels and things.

Guestroom:
Just past the sickroom, but on the opposite side of the hall, is the guestroom. This room is almost identical to the sickroom in the respect that is has a single bed and a solitary night stand beside said bed. There is a wardrobe in this room, however, which holds a stash of extra blankets for use in the winter seasons. Not much use is made of this room, as the bunkroom is mostly empty. If there is a visitor and they don't mind the lack of solitude, they stay in the bunkroom for the most part.

At the end of the hallway leading back past all the rooms is a doorway. This doorway opens to reveal stairs which lead downstairs into the back hallway. Unless one was told, they would not know about the small secret door that leads up to the attic. It is in the same place as the stairs that lead to the downstairs floors, but hidden well enough.

Third Floor:

The third floor is comprised, entirely, of the attic. Not many people know how to get up to it, and there really is no reason for anyone to want to be up there. Unless, of course, the person is seeking solitude. It is used for storage, mostly, of religious things for the church. However, in the back corner is an old armchair. This is for those seeking peace and quiet from the world, or just the house, and they can find it there.

The Basement:

The only way to get to the basement is from the back hallway on the first floor. Not that anyone would want to go down there unless it was entirely necessary, though. It is used mainly for storage, so there really is no purpose to go down there anyway. Unless something needs fixed or checked, even Miro usually does not go down into it. It is dimly lit and ever damp, which gives it a musty smell. There are shelves down there with cans of vegetables and things on them, taken from the girl's house because they didn't have enough room in their basement, and because it just isn't fair for them to have all the food.
