house(s)/home(s) for single women and single men Explanation: Or Malberg's suggestion plus a short explanation, as they have done on his link. Despite the religious aspect to this community, I think the terms "nunnery" and "monastery" would be misleading. |

house of sisters - house of brethren Explanation: Isn't "brethren" the more religious term for "brothers"? Reference: http://www.denholmvillage.co.uk/church.html |
