I know this is a long shot. But does anyone know if this house still exits. It was a photo I found at an antique store in southern PA. It seemed fancy enough to maybe be known.1yr ⋅ DialTone54 ⋅ r/centuryhomes

Hi! You might remember me, the single woman who was getting some flack 🙄 for considering a century home that needed some work. Well today I hung gutters on her ALL BY MYSELF. I’ve put tons of work into her already in the past month. If I can do it, you can do it! Have faith!2yr ⋅ Perpetual_learner8 ⋅ r/centuryhomes

Our house was built in 1844 and is on our county's Underground Railroad map. The original owners were abolitionists and held regular meetings here. The tale from the historical society is that this capped off tunnel in the basement was for escape. It currently goes back 10-12 feet.2yr ⋅ deegethesqueege ⋅ r/centuryhomes

Part of the appeal of buying my century house was that it actually has a working transom window. And it swivels! I’ve seen so many transoms painted shut with all the hardware frozen under layers of paint. Relieved to have one less feature to strip! Anyone else have swiveling ones?1yr ⋅ Halfchino79 ⋅ r/centuryhomes
