"The Old Manse (From "Mosses from an Old Manse")" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a beloved short story that was written in honor of the Old Manse building in Massachusetts where Hawthorne lived with his wife. This tale, in fact, can be seen as a sort of love story to his early years of marriage and the life he was building with his wife, Sophia Peabody just after their wedding in the 19th century.
