Hightower's house is a private sanctuary to which he retreated twenty-five years before the opening of the story, after being disgraced as a minister. From his window, he can still hear the music of his former church each Sunday. His home is a sanctuary for Byron Bunch as well, who visits Hightower regularly over the seven years he lives in Jefferson.
