愛着 ('attachment, fondness, sentiment') is a Sino-Japanese compound from 愛 ('love') + 着 ('attach') — feeling stuck-with-love, the warm emotional tether to a person, place, or possession. ~に愛着を持つ ('hold an attachment to') takes に for the target. The progressive ~ていた describes the sustained state at a past reference. Old houses in Japan often carry deep 愛着 — 古民家 (traditional country homes) are increasingly cherished, restored, and repurposed as the population moves toward cities.
