Which Joseph and which house? Never mind, don't bother answering. I'll just say that the answer to all those questions is the same. We don't know.

Take a left out of Camden town tube and its about 200 yards on the right, flat 27b.
Problem is it burnt down this week, apparently Joseph backed the wrong God and the Romans torched the place. -

His house would be located in the central busy area of the town because of his occupation. Of course now it would only be the foundation stones that survived and even their location could not be found as the town has changed through out the years. I often go to Israel and have been in that area and I can tell you that most of the taxi drivers will invent some story of finding the ruins just to please you and to earn his wages for the day. Most of the Christian ruins are of invention by bards and tourguides through out the centuries, so just trust in your bible and through its recordings look for the places to see. Don't be swallowed into the money racket as so many have been before.

Yes, indeed. At the time of the Crusades a pilgrim could even visit the very bend in the road where the Good Samaritan discovered the victim of a mugging! The fact that the story was a parable seems to have passed the medieval tour guides (and presumably the pilgrims) by. -

Go on, Tim - you know where it is, but you're keeping it to yourself, aren't you...
For the record, Joseph's house is reputedly on the site of the Basilica of the Annunciation (or rather, vice versa) in Nazareth. However, since it doesn't seem to have been identified as such before the mid to late 4th century, it's fair to say its authenticity is dubious. -

the parable even got turned into an allegory
Man attacked = humanity best by sin and the devil
Priest and Levite = law and the sacrificial system unable to do anything for humanity
Good Samaritan = Jesus
Innkeeper = Peter
Two coins = Old and New testamant
Good Samaritan's promise to return = Second coming.
