How old is the house you live in? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

our condo buildings were built in 1975.

I own/live in a victorian style home here in Los Angeles that was built in 1897. It's been in the family for 3 generations now. No 'paranormal' activity here, just lots of pre 1930's newspapers I found up in the attic about 8 years ago.

My house is hard to peg down for a original construction date but thanks to neighbors who have lived here all of their lives we have a good idea.

When we started remodeling from the inside out, we learned that it was last remodeled in 1957 according to both the date in the toilet as well as newspapers that were laid under the flooring. Thought we had figured it out until I mentioned it to Dean (has since passed away). He lived here since he was 5 and considering he was in his late 80's at the time he was able to tell me our house along with a couple others on the road were originally old western style shotgun cottages. All but ours got torn down and they added to ours about doubling the footprint of the house.

Apparently a shotgun style cottage was almost just a long box. You could shoot from the toilet out the front door with a shotgun. No extra hallways, bedrooms etc.

We got confirmation when after we finished the much needed bathroom remodel and ripped up the inside spare bedroom floor, we could see that our house had no real foundation. It had a dug out dirt pit under it and several huge boulders had been placed in assorted areas where giant wooden crossbeams were resting on. The rest of of our houses exterior walls just floated on the compacted dirt rim. We pretended we did not see that - we are remodeling from the inside out for a reason. There is were we found some engraving in the rock and judging by the nails used it fit the dates Dean had given us of right around the turn of the century, which for CA is old.

i had a house owned by a relative of mine when I was married and I found all his bank books in the attic from the 40's and 50's

cool to look though them and see how much he paid for stuff - it was sooo cheap

i'd love a restored 100 year old Victorian house or a Cape Cod style house - i'd rather live in a cardboard box almost than in one of these suburban 5,000 sq foot McMansions that all look the same.

My house was built in 1906. When I bought it last year it needed a LOT of work so we spent quite some hours rebuilding the walls on the inside etc etc. It used to be a butchery and in WWII it was an illegal butchery. I am kind of scared to see what we're going to find in the backyard as we will be starting to redo that next month.
