How old is your dwelling?

rgalston · #1 Posted: **Dec 2, 2006, 5:29 AM**

It would be interesting to find out the age of dwellings that SSP forumers live in. Do most live in new dwellings? Does anyone live in extrodinarily old dwellings? Do you live in a newer building but in an old neighborhood?

For myself, I live in a house built in 1882, going on 125 years.

My apartment building was built around 1919-1920.

My house was built sometime in the '20's, after what must have been a long and arduous search to find just the right flowing spring over which to build the thing. The spring is in the basement, gushing away to this day, and the water is pumped outside into a ditch.

1956, have the blueprints and most of the reciepts for the materials. The amazing thing is, most of the suppliers are still in business today (So is the builder, the grandson runs it now). I'm only the third person to live here, though my neighbor is still the first one in hers (she got a new kitchen built to celebrate her 50th year in that house).

House completed in 1958. My grandmother still owns the house, though has moved on to a smaller apartment.

I currently live in a place finished in 1997. I grew up in a house finished around 1929.

I checked the records a few months ago- 1916. Seeing that this is San Francisco, there are a LOT of buildings from ~1910-1929.

Oldest building ever was ~1890 in Paris, and in USA was 1906 giant house in Sacramento. The Sacramento one was the best- 2000 sq. feet with 3 real bedrooms + a sun room and sewing room making 5 active bedrooms. The molding, the grand staircase, the servent's staircase, and the old Wedgwood Stove with griddle and matching salt and pepper shaker were amazing. Too bad we were 5 then 6 recent grads who couldn't get along for very long.

Just know that in the days before cel phones that if there's one line for 6 people- NOONE answers the phone since you only have a 1 in 6 chance it will be for you!

Scuse me for my english.
My principal house was built in 1930 in Lyon.
And my holiday house was built in 1438 for a part and 1652 for another part in Noyers-Sur-Serein (a medieval village in Bourgogne).

my apartment building was build as condos in 1984 then converted to apartments in the Texas real estate crash of the late 80's.

Current duplex I live in was built in '77. Previous fourplex that we lived in likely was built early to late 60's.
