Why is בֵּית considered plural?

The word בֵּית means "house of" and, In English, that would be a singular, a collective as a group. But in davening we use the plural verb (beit aharon barchU).

What is the meaning of בֵּית that it (and other uses of it -- I looked at Beit Ya'akov and Beit Yisra'el and found plurals there also) calls forth not a group-singular, but a regular plural?
