    I live in a 274 year old building with original stained glass windows. The US mind cannot comprehend this.

      When I lived in Germany, I lived in a building that was built before Columbus sailed on a canal built by the Romans.

      Yeah, we would have replaced them with at least double pane windows to keep heating and cooling costs down by now. Central AC is standard most places here. Especially because I grew up in what could be considered the northern part of a swamp.

        Yeah, 200+ years old houses arent too alien. Especially since mexico has ones that are even older. Hell if I looked around the east coast enough I could probably find some built by my ancestors.
