Three generations of my husband's family have lived here, beginning with his maternal grandparents. As you point out, oldish for Oregon, but as a kid in Connecticut he lived in a center-chimney Colonial, ca 1770, and a newer Classical jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472016280216789726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-40946062229636129292017-06-25T15:25:53.268-07:002017-06-25T15:25:53.268-07:00Everything is!

I grew up in Phoenix where they made a museum of a house built in the early 1900's -- early for white people dwellings there. Now I live in Ottawa where some of our downtown buildings are much older than that and some are mere office buildings. It's all about perspective.Jamiebobamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154545915347378238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-50835478705763903172017-06-25T06:50:05.317-07:002017-06-25T06:50:05.317-07:00Love house stories.

Not a right angle in the house. Picture it like a layer cake with a deck around all 8 sides -- woods on most sides, an up-in-the-air deck walkway connecting the house with the garage. Great bird and wildlife viewing. It was like living in a beautiful blind.
