The '''Márquez Farmhouse''' was [[Weaver Márquez]]'s childhood home and the former residence of Weaver's side of the [[:Category:Márquez family|Márquez family]]. Located at 100 Macondo Lane, the family took out loans and constructed the farm after demolishing the old house on the property, sending them into debt.
 
== Description ==
 
A farmhouse atop a large hill. A family graveyard is located next to the house, with headstones inscribed with the surnames of the unfortunate: Nowakowski, Padilla, and Márquez. Shannon says that she doesn't know the first two names, and claims no one is buried there, calling it "decorative."
 
[[Joseph]]'s computer gives directions to the house from [[Equus Oils]]:
<blockquote class="inconsolata">
Head north-east on sixty-five, and turn left as soon as you see that ugly tree that's always on fire. Look for the barn at the base of the mountain there; can't miss it.
</blockquote>

* '''SHANNON:''' Oh, and look at that headstone: "Márquez." I used to think that was for my parents. Now I don't know.
* '''CONWAY:''' What do you keep out in that barn? <br/>'''WEAVER:''' Used to be tools and feed. Then books. Now, I think it's mostly spiders.
