How is the house personified in the second paragraph in A Rose for Emily?

Personification is a figure of speech in which non-human entities take on human qualities.

So, here is the sentence from A Rose for Emily which has personification:

" ... only Miss Emily's house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps-an eyesore among eyesores."

It is used to say that it was very different from all other houses in the neighborhood, and refused to change to fit its needs.
