  • When passing by the street, Alvarado House appears to be part in the neigborhood,retaininge same look and style. The front view is sample of what a proper home should look like. It must be exceptable for the community. However the insde and the backside can go as far as one imagination takes you. The way the house appears is the same as that of men. The way we represent ourselves in largely limited by what the soceity deems worthy. The way we act is also the same. People must behave the proper way but under that layer we hides our individualty just as Alvarado House has done.
