noun lodging houses · lodging-house · lodginghouse

  1. A place where rooms can be rented, other than a hotel. Swindon's Model Lodging House was originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The 1847-1849 recession led to delays and plan revisions, including smaller windows in the finished structure, resulting in a more 'institutional' appearance.
