This is so awesome! I currently live in Glenside in a house built in 1910. No fun finds like this though! I have always wanted to learn more about the history of our home.

When we bought our house in 1978 I don’t think anything had been done on it since it was built in 1908. There were area rugs in the dining and living rooms and under them for padding were newspapers from World War II. Now that’s history

That’s amazing! We have found 1923 carved in our basement.

Be sure to take a picture. When we removed the wallpaper in our bedroom, we found the paper hanger’s signature underneath. It was from 1908! Old houses have the coolest things
