Living, breathing works of history are century-old dwellings. Their architectural style, building materials, workmanship, and traces of former occupants wonderfully capture the time in which they were created. The individuals who value such old properties are honoring and looking after them so they may keep resisting the test of time.
Actually, there’s a whole community of them online where they can offer advice on homes built beyond the hundred-year mark and their experiences. Known as Century Homes, this Reddit group brings together owners of ancient homes so others may see what life in one is like. To really appreciate the ancient home appeal, scroll down and don’t forget to upvote the ones you may find yourself living in!
As you’re at it, have a chat with Kelly DeLong, a century-old house owner and Old House Dreams founder who graciously consented to share with us what it’s actually like to own a historic house.
