Naulakha (Rudyard Kipling House)
Naulakha, also known as the Rudyard Kipling House, is a historic Shingle Style house at 707 Kipling Road in Dummerston, Vermont. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 for its association with the author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), who had it built in 1893 and made it his home until 1896. It is in this house that Kipling wrote ''Captains Courageous'', ''The Jungle Book'', ''A Day's Work'', and ''The Seven Seas'', and did work on ''Kim'' and ''The Just So Stories''.〔 Kipling named the house after the Naulakha Pavilion, situated inside Lahore Fort. The house is now owned by the Landmark Trust, and is available for rent.
==Name==
"Kipling named Naulakha after the book he wrote with Wolcott Balestier, his good friend and Mrs. Kipling’s brother, about a precious Indian jewel, and it is filled with a trove of their possessions." 〔http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/19/travel/escapes/19kipling.html〕
Etymologically Naulakha means nine lakhs or nine hundred thousand being the amount of rupees incurred for the cost of construction of the building. Another prominent example of similar use of the name is Naulakha Temple in Deoghar, Baidyanathdham (Jharkhand), India.〔Kipling, Rudyard (1996) ''Writings on Writing''. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-44527-2. p.36 and p.173〕 The Mughal architecture of the monument had inspired him during his earlier stay (between 1882–1887) in Lahore.〔Robert D. Kaplan (1989) (Lahore as Kipling Knew It ). The New York Times. Retrieved on 9 March 2008〕
