Cách sử dụng
"Almshouse" is an old word used in England to describe a type of housing for poor or elderly people. They were often built by wealthy donors to help those who were struggling. Almshouses are usually small, independent homes built in a row or a courtyard. They are still found in some English towns and cities today, but are much less common than they used to be.
