Why humble house?

During our first wander round the new house, we found an old photo frame with a small sheet of cotton in it with some cross stitching. I figured it was a piece of history probably from the previous owner, so we shouldn't get rid of it. We've been trying to find a name for the house, and this chose it for us. 'Humble House' is rather ironic, considering it's a four bedroom house, at nearly 2000 square feet it's far from humble.
