Yes Jen, my house and two others on my street were the first ones here...of course all have been renovated quite often. We try to keep the look of an old farm house best we can. The house at the end of the block was supposedly an original trading post.

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

That is sooooo cool!!!!

I was watching House Hunters the other day and one of the houses they looked at was the original funeral parlor in town. Still had the casket elevator in the basement

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Cool.

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

We have only 2 closets and they were added on! Luckily we have an attic. No foundation under the kitchen, my husband jacked it up after we moved in! The inspector asked us if we really had to move...and was our marriage solid enough to withstand renovation! LOL

wow a 900 yr old stone off a castle!!!! how cool is that?

Ffld County, CT(Zone 6b)

Yeah, I'm a real history geek. Back in the stone age when DH and I went to England and Ireland, we spent most of our time walking around piles of rocks- er, uh, walking around ruins. I love my rock and have it on display next to photos of my kids, lol. I told my husband just think, a king or queen of England could have touched this stone, could have leaned against it in the wall, could have sat upon it or walked upon it in the floor. My husband rolled his eyes and said yeah, or they could have peed on it. I told him that would be just as cool (not really but I couldn't let him get over on me, lol!)

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Or could have had the enemies stoned with it!
