1890 for mine. 135 year old house.
Built by the owner of a greenhouse in a suburb of the city where you could prohibit the sale of land to blacks. They ended up buying 2 more lots and building two more houses. USA, Michigan. Sadly, the title still states that the property cannot be sold to a black or mixed race. Its no longer legal, but the title says it. Other than that, its built well. Almost all the stuff done to the house after the 70s is garbage. Ie. Vinyl siding, replacement windows, counters, plumbing.
1926
- Not particularly old by European standards, but one slightly unusual feature is that it still has its original roof.
929?! Holy. Congrats
Is it in good shape?
Any pictures you would care to share?
Does it not display the initial 1 for you? I noticed the post has some weird formatting, I think the lemmy UI thinks it’s a list item or something.
Remove the . At the end of the number might help
It did say 929
Now it looks like this
Oh, I think I know what’s going on. It’s interpreting the number with a period on the end as a numbered/ordered list. Putting a space before the dot should fix it.
- This is an ordered list.
And fixed:
321 . And this is not.
Still weird that the number’s sticking off to the side and getting cut off. Probably depends what client you’re using. In Lemmy-UI, it’s not cut off, but the number is further left than it would otherwise be. Jerboa looks fine, but it’s clearer on Jerboa that it’s interpreting it as an ordered list.
On voyager it’s cut off bad. Missing 1.5 letters
Good thought
the house i grew up in was built in 1800 (it was a duplex) and honestly it was the creepiest house i ever lived in. it had the old style stone cellars and wooden steps and i always used to have to put a chair in front of the cellar door cause whenever i tried to close it i honest to god felt a force making it hard to shut. and i’m absolutely certain that i woke up in the middle of the night and looked down the stairs and saw two people in period clothes just standing there and it’s far too real to have been a dream.
i lived in this town so mostly all of the houses were built for the mill by the family who owned it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitinsville,_Massachusetts
Yeah lots of houses super old around here, especially at the old mills area. My buddy lives in Uxbridge near one of the lakes, funny enough I’m a few towns away. Small world, Lemmy.
The one I live in now was built in the 1940s and expanded in the 2000s. The one my parents own that I grew up in partially was built in 1844.
2015
Unclear, but somewhere between 1865 and 1875, which makes it right around half the age of my parents’ house
My first house was in a town where the hall of records burned down in 1920. Which means that no one still around knows when anything older was actually built, butofficially everything older was built in 1920.
2024
New building code for rentals stipulates one room must be capable of cooling to 26c or lower. This building was built to that code.
So we have AC. It’s fantastic.
1995 - the peak of civilization
1910!
I bought it in 2022. It’s tiny but mine lol
Bold of you to assume I own a house
Me too, thanks.
1861 it’s sweet except for when it’s not
When is it not sweet?
In the 1940s or 50s. My family has owned it since the 60s.
Before - 1932, now 1995.
House I used to own was built in 1958, but the house I’m currently renting an apartment in was built in 1890. The apartment itself was added in 2020, and I’m it’s first tenant.
