Happy Friday! Welcome to the weekly post where you can share your old house finds, articles, or engage in friendly chit chat.

Sharing Etiquette…
1) If you wish to share an old house for sale, paste the link in the comment box at the bottom of this page. Include the city & state, build date, price, and what you are sharing.
2) No tiny URL's. Link to the agent's site or a listing site (Redfin, Realtor, Zillow, etc.) No sites that require an account to view.
3) To avoid getting flagged as spam, limit your comment to no more than 10 links per comment.

You are welcome to discuss topics related to old houses, gardening, history, and other related subjects. However, please refrain from discussing political topics.
