Hi,

A little more context would help.

I am going to the House of Death. I'd say it means I am dying.

'The House of Death' is an unusual phrase. It could just be poetical. Or it could be what the prisoners in the prison call the place where they execute people. It's hard to say without more context.

Or perhaps a house where the occupants are sick, and several people have already died.

Maybe it's part of an amusement park (it's capitalized):
I'm going to the House of Death and then I'll try the rollercoaster. ( Thinking [*-)] )
