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.
1976
Also my birth year.
- 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.
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
Remove the . At the end of the number might help
some of you have ghosts in your houses
1890 here as well. I love it, it’s nestled in the woods and built into the hillside so these massive retaining walls surround the first story. With all the trees and shade and basically being underground, this makes the first floor naturally cool. I’ve gone whole summers without AC. What’s also interesting is there’s a door on the second floor landing that goes right out into the hillside. There’s like a 2 foot wide platform and then the hill. Not much up there other than a steep overgrown mountain though.
Another thing I love is being able to see the river from my front stoop. I’m still in city limits of Pittsburgh though, so I can easily walk or bike down to more of the city type stuff. Or I can bop across a bridge to a couple other towns.
I’ll definitely spend my life here, as I’m slowly remodeling the place. But of course, a house this old comes with its own slew of problems. I try to tackle as much as I can myself tho.
We just celebrated 28 years of this development, so 1997. We live here since 2002.
- I was also born 1985.
My house was built as a summer cabin 1935. Then someone added a 2nd floor on top of it 1970. It then got winter isolated (for year round living) in 2006.
In sweden, so it can be pretty cold here
Our US one when we lived there: 1960s
Our Danish one now: 17… 50s? 60s? It’s hard to know
since i moved back with my parents, my house was built in 1993. before that i was living in an apartment that was built in 2021.
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.
1962
fistbump
Amazingly, we’re only the second owners. Ours was comissioned and built by a Greek family. It’s gloriously so.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure my family was only the second owners of my house as well. All I know about the builder of my house is:
- The same guy was responsible for building basically all the houses on my street.
- He didn’t survey very carefully. All the property lines are off by like two feet. Lol. It’s caused me some heartache with the neighbors to my south with property disputes. (Well, to be fair, the neighbors to my south would have caused the property dispute had the property lines not been off.)
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.
1861 it’s sweet except for when it’s not
When is it not sweet?
1995 - the peak of civilization
