2021 from a small local home builder. Much better quality (even for a COVID build) than the Oakwood garbage that’s in the rest of the neighborhood and much better insulated than an older home.

Somewhere between 1925 and 1932 depending on which paper you want to read.

The other house built in 1992

the house i grew up in was built in 1800 (it was a duplex) and honestly it was the creepiest house i ever lived in. it had the old style stone cellars and wooden steps and i always used to have to put a chair in front of the cellar door cause whenever i tried to close it i honest to god felt a force making it hard to shut. and i'm absolutely certain that i woke up in the middle of the night and looked down the stairs and saw two people in period clothes just standing there and it's far too real to have been a dream.

i lived in this town so mostly all of the houses were built for the mill by the family who owned it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitinsville,_Massachusetts

  1. Not particularly old by European standards, but one slightly unusual feature is that it still has its original roof.
