Is the verb "house" intransitive?

[notmyname216]

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary the verb "house" can be both transitive AND intransitive. Although, I have not found an example where "house" IS intransitive. Have you?

I looked at three dictionaries, all claiming it had an intransitive form, but none giving an example. If they can't think of one...

[Casiopea]

Cool! It's intransitive, too, like this,

To reside; dwell.
To take shelter.

EX: Max houses in the Hamptons during the summer.

Thanks, Cas.

Naw. . . It's you and the other posters who led me to my finding. Thanks! Ain't it the darndest thing, though. I actually have used 'house' intransitively, as I am sure you have too. Odd how our brains work, huh?

[Tdol]

I can't remember using it that way.
