A cabin that Grumby's Independents burn when they kill the man who lives there: "There was one Negro in the county that everybody knew that they had murdered and burned him up in his cabin" (93).
Colonel Sartoris escapes from the Union patrol by walking slowly around this barn, pretending to be someone else. The Yankee soldier who almost shoots him notes that "there aint no stock" in the barn "a-tall" (21).
Because Doom never thought the chief's "House" was "big enough," when he becomes "the Man" he forces the rest of the tribe to move a wrecked steamboat twelve miles over land to add to it (350). The result is not described in this story - it is in "Red Leaves" - but by the end of the tale "the steamboat was beside the House and the House was big enough to please Doom" (357).
"By the People" refers to the generic "parlor" where Ratliff sells sewing machines to "the doctor's or lawyer's or merchant's or banker's wife" (86). Our map of the story locates this parlor on the site of the Benbow house in other fictions, but there's no reason to think that the narrator of "By the People" or Faulkner himself has any one particular parlor or wife or gathering in mind.
The "half-shed half-den" where Lonnie Grinnup lives is built on "the last lost scrap of the thousands of acres which his ancestor had been master of" (74). His ancestor is Louis Grenier "the elegante, the dilettante," the "old Frenchman" after whom Frenchman's Bend is named, and whose elegant antebellum plantation house is going to decay in ten other Yoknapatawpha fictions.
The dilapidated hut where Lonnie Grinnup lives is "in almost the exact center of the thousand and more acres his ancestors had once owned" (71). His ancestor is Louis Grenier (70), the "old Frenchman" after whom Frenchman's Bend is named, and whose elegant antebellum plantation house is going to decay in ten other Yoknapatawpha fictions.
