Author's Note: The famous Sherlock Holmes lives on Baker Street. Although it is not just a house. It speaks of the past between Watson and Holmes, and gives ideas of Holmes's personality.
The door holds memories of great times, the light of the well-lit interior streams out the windows and into the night. The fire washes the home in a clean warmth, the books lining the wall speak of knowledge. The man who takes residence here is the renowned Sherlock Holmes, with his long coat, double-brimmed hat, and clay pipe. Dr. Watson used to live with Sherlock, back in the "old days." This apartment is important to the book as it is Sherlock Holmes's headquarters, and sometimes where he solves his iconic mysteries.
In the story, Watson sometimes remembers the unforgettable times he spent at the apartment. Him and Sherlock used to be partners in crime, or partners against crime, so to say. They lived together as friends and companions, solving crime after crime together. Eventually, Watson got married and moved out to live with his wife. It is at this time when the stories in the book take place. He still helps Holmes, just not as avid as he used to. It helps make a sense of the history between Sherlock and Watson. It makes it so you can understand Holmes's and Watson's past better.
Not only holding memories of the past, it is where lots of the story takes place. When Holmes is not traveling to the scene of the crime, he works out of his comfortable domain on Baker Street. So many things are found inside the apartment. Records of everyone, an encyclopedia set, a fireplace, tons of stuff. It creates a vivid image of the probably neat but almost crowded interior of his home. Holmes will sit down in a chair beside the fire and smoke his pipe, eyes closed, and solve a mystery. It makes you understand Sherlock Holmes's personality, as what I believe is casual and laid back, intelligent and knowledgeable. His home creates part of a personality, and holds part of the plot.
The apartment is a very relevant part of the story. It gives an image of the past between Holmes and Watson. The two are good friends, and their history shows through the house. The home gives hints about the personality of the great Sherlock Holmes, and his quiet and intelligent ways of reasoning. It is also, of course, where many parts of the book take place. The apartment holds memories of the past, and of adventure. It is certainly an important and influential part to the story.
