The record — long form
Restoration House is the stacked — the 'jail beneath' that's the cell's place, the 'house around' that's the build's wrap. The 'courthouse leased' is the doubled — the 'first county' that's the role's claim, the 'clients kept' that's the lawyer's trick. The '$1,700' is the bought — the '1963' that's the rescue's year, the 'wallpaper layers' that's the work's depth.
The 'butt imprints' is the told — the 'bed upstairs' that's the mark's spot, the 'weddings after' that's the timing's joke. The 'It's stupid' is the caught — the 'EVP' that's the cell's word, the 'poker played' that's the test's form. Restoration House is the friendly — the 'family people' that's the spirits' kind, the 'limestone' that's the town's draw.
The file keeps Restoration House: the stacked jail, the doubled courthouse, the marked bed, and the stupid EVP.
Restoration House is the archive's Minnesota file — the home built around the county's only jail cell.
