The Text House, Denholm

Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 22 Sep 2014

House built about 1910 in the Arts and Crafts style by De John Haddon. The house derives its name from the inscriptions on the wall which read: TAK TENT IN TIME ~ ERE TIME BE TINT ALL WAS OTHERS ~ ALL WILL BE OTHERS The first reminds the reader to take care with time or it will pass by quickly and the second reminds the occupier that people lived in the house before them and will continue after they leave.
