Editing Márquez Farmhouse

[[File:Farmhouse.png|thumb|right|''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.'']]
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."

: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.

* '''SHANNON:''' Oh, and look at that headstone: "Márquez." I used to think that was for my parents. Now I don't know.
* The farmhouse is silent and empty. The barn is still gone. So is the cave. A few horses graze in the empty field.
* '''WEAVER:''' I like the large beams that run across the ceilings. I like to sit in the house and think of the hills and bluffs surrounding us, like a ... like a cradle.
* An abandoned spiderweb stretches across the bottom of a saucepan. A skillet is seasoned with dust.
