Wow. I would love to live in an old house; so much history. When you moved in, did you find any old stuff that previous owners left behind? I think it would be so neat to move into an old house and find antique things hidden in the walls like photographs.Originally Posted by 4crazycats
The earliest records of this house was in 1900. So its at least 107 years old.So its really old and small. One of the first houses in this neighborhood.
Well theres a lot of old stuff in the basement. I dont think they are antiques though. Its a rental and if I remember right the last time it was lived in by a person who actually owned it was in the early 80's so any really cool stuff that might have been in here is long gone.Originally Posted by Moz

We sold our old house last year and we couldn't find records of the actual house prior to 1902 - the land deeds went back to 1847. When we sold it, the realtor looked up the historic tax records for the house and found out it had been built in 1884. This was in Missouri. Go to the county tax department and do some digging there!!Originally Posted by 4crazycats
