A local house (3)
I believe the answer is:
pub
This could be a double definition.
'a local' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'house' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pub that I've seen before include "A familiar hostelry" , "Inn, tavern" , "The humble local tavern" , "Inn, hostelry" , "Inn, bar" .)
