house taken over

From the text:

We
 liked 
the
 house 
because,
 apart 
from
 its 
being
 old
 and
 spacious
 (in
 a
 day 
when
 old 
houses
 go
 down 
for
 a

profitable
 auction
 of
 their
 construction
 materials),
 it
 kept
 the
 memories
 of
 great‐grandparents,
 our
 paternal

grandfather, 
our
 parents
 and 
the 
whole 
of 
childhood.

The 
dinning 
room,
 a 
living
room
 with 
tapestries, 
the 
library,
and
 three 
large 
bedrooms 
in
 the 
section 
most 
recessed,
 the
 one 
that
faced 
toward
 Rodriguez 
Pena. 
Only 
a
 corridor
 with 
its 
massive
 oak 
door 
separated 
that
 part
 from
 the 
front
 wing,
 where 
there 
was 
a
bath, 
the
 kitchen,
 our
 bedrooms 
and 
the 
hall. 
One 
entered 
the
 house 
through 
a
 vestibule 
with 
enameled
 tiles,
 and 
a
 wrought‐iron

gated 
door 
opened 
onto 
the 
living
room.
