The air outside the Welty House is thin with history: streetlamps cast long angles across brick and timber, and the house itself holds a shape that seems to watch the road. By the time your guide gathers the group beside the BrickHouse Inn, the town’s late-day hush has already begun to press against the windows, a quiet that makes every creak feel deliberate.
