[quote=Anonymous][quote]Houses with granite foundation, awesome hardwoods, solid brass radiators and the like made up an elite segment of 103-year old housing, and that's why they held up until today. You are comparing elite housing from 100 years ago to the standard housing of today.[/quote] Nope. I'm comparing middle class housing with middle class housing. In 1910, the things you cite were standard-issue in [i]middle class[/i] homes in the District of Columbia. Just because a home would sell for $1.3 million today due to its land value near the Red Line doesn't change the fact that it was built for a mid-level government worker in 1913. Wards 3, 4 and 5 are full of such 3-bedroom homes built between 1910 and 1928. [/quote]
