Where would the different types of houses have been located?

Amos 3:15 (ESV)

15 I will strike the winter house along with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall come to an end,”declares the LORD.

A summer residence would likely have been in the cooler area of the central hill country (to escape the heat of the sun), while a winter home might have been located in the warmer Jezreel Valley.
