I always loved old houses, even as a child.
I purchased my first home about a year and a half ago. According to the tax records, it was built in 1897 and is just under 1500 square feet. Research at the local library informed me that the first owner was a cooper named James Pelver.
Given that the neighbourhood I live in was (and still is) a predominantly working class neighbourhood, my house isn't as grand as those many of you have, but I love it anyways. It suits my needs perfectly and has the stained glass windows, hardwood floors, high baseboards, high ceilings and character that is an old house.
I am not sure what style it is, but it is a very common style for the area and is made of the yellow brick, which I am informed, London, Ontario is known for.
I look forward to sharing my love of old houses with other like-minded individuals.
This is the only photo I have from the outside. It was one of the photos that were posted online by the seller.
