Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I live in a 120 year old house in a historic district. Over the years the house has been updated but still retains some neat features like the original wood floors, neat molding, a great front porch, etc. Pre Covid it was a great place to entertain. Of course there is a lot of upkeep and maintenance which is getting harder and harder to do as we get older (and DH is having knee replacement in a couple of weeks). We live in a historic district which has its pluses and minuses. It is a neat area to live in, very walkable and it is good to know these old houses are protected. However, sometimes the historic district commission goes overboard--like when we replaced the roof and they would not approve the shingles we had chosen and when they made us replace our mailbox because it looked too modern.
Anybody else live in a an old house?
