EPISODE 3: How Old is Your House?


Listen Later

So you bought an old house. A REALLY old house. But you’re not totally sure how old it actually is.

I’ve been there! When we bought our house, we were told it was built in 1912. But my heart said, uh-uh, this is a Folk Victorian and I think it was built in 1905 or ‘06. How do I know? In this episode, I’ll tell you!

You’ll learn:
