Anotations

Scope note:

Houses, sometimes family homes or other relatively small buildings, that offer for a fixed fee apartments or rooms and sometimes meals. Rooming houses typically differ from boardinghouses in that a rooming house offers fewer amenities and less social contact with the family or other operators. However, in nineteenth-century American usage, the term may overlap in meaning with "boardinghouses."
