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> == Interactions == At the beginning of [[Act I]], [[Conway]] meets Weaver at the farmhouse. Later in the act, he returns with [[Shannon]], and the two discover an entrance to the {{todoZeroLink}}through the barn behind the house. == Gallery ==<gallery>File:Farmhouse hill.png|The hill leading up to the farmhouseFile:Farmhouse silhouette.png|Conway ascends the steps to the houseFile:Farmhouse.png|Conway and WeaverFile:Ghosts in the static.png|''[[Ghosts in the Static]]''File:Farmhouse barn.png|The barn behind the farmhouseFile:You've Got to Walk.png|[[The Bedquilt Ramblers]] playing ''[[You've Got to Walk]]''File:Onramp.png|The onramp to the {{Zero}}{...}</gallery> == Name and references == The name "Márquez" comes from the famous Colombian magical realist writer [[wikipedia:Gabriel García Márquez|Gabriel García Márquez]]; the farmhouse's street name and number, 100 Macondo Lane, is a reference to the town of [[wikipedia:Macondo|Macondo]] in Gabriel ''[[wikipedia:One Hundred Years of Solitude|One Hundred Years of Solitude]]''. constructed at 100 Macondo Lane on top of a hill after her family bought the land.

Now, I think it's mostly spiders.* '''WEAVER:''' I like the large beams that run across the ceilings.
