didnt own it but grew up in it and parents still live there.....was built around 1900 by a guy that owned a lumber yard.....if you could weight it it would prolly weight twice as much as any similar size house as its got twice the amount of lumber needed to make a good house.....every carpenter or such that has done work on it leaves the job shaking there head....hell it was moved 35 miles from one town to another as that was cheaper than buying/building a new house by my grandfather in the 50's as one of his friends moved buildings for a living and the house traveled just fine....

The little house we live in now. Original structure was built in the early '20s.

i;ve got a 57ac piece of property that has a settlers home on it that we still use for a hunting cabin, from sometime around 1850. Some of our relation back then built it, tamarack frame and all. The old blacksmith shop still stands as well.

Current home. Built 1940. Noticeably more solid than a family member's home built in 1976. Brothers house built 2011 isn't more solid either.
Oddly enough, very little updating to the house and my energy bills are lower than either of theirs as well.

I live in the house my Great Grand Father built in 1898 or 1900, no one is certain on the date. Bathroom and one room added in 1963. Old barn that could be 125 to 130 years old still standing but in rough shape due to unstable sandstone foundation. Barn wood and old beams from old barn could be worth more than the house.

Farmhouse in upstate NY from around 1880, remuddled over the years. Some of the worksmanship of the original house was amazing, but when I owned it in the late 1980's it was just an old house. Wiring codes were unheard of, plumbing sucked, walls for the most part were uninsulated.
If someone likes working on a house every single weekend I highly recommend one.
