Default Re: NOT "A" old houses.

Its been a while since I commented on this post and felt I should update those who were interested.


With the help of others I was able to find many maps of our area. The oldest being from 1874 as mentioned previously in the thread. This shows our house in what I had suspected was its original shape \ layout. It has had a few additions over the years some of which happened in the late 1800s and the newest being from 1924.


As Tom mentioned I do have a cistern under my kitchen floor which is approx 1000 gallons.


I have maps which even show where the outhouse was located and what type of roof it had.


Though the oldest map I have found so far is 1874 going by the style of muntins used on the windows as well as the type of saw used to cut the lumber and the nails we have come to a date of approx 1860.


Its a little older than a model A I guess.


I'd like to thank everyone for their help. I appreciate it.
