Century-old homes are living, breathing pieces of history. Their architectural design, building materials, craftsmanship, and remnants of past residents beautifully reflect the era in which they were built. Thanks to the people who appreciate such historic homes, they are being honored and taken care of so they can continue to withstand the test of time.
In fact, there’s a whole community of them online where they can share their experiences and tips on homes that exceed the 100-year mark. Called Century Homes, this Reddit community unites antique home owners and lets others take a peek at what it's like to live in one. Scroll down to immerse yourself in the old home charm, and don’t forget to upvote the ones that you could see yourself residing in!
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with a century home owner and founder of Old House Dreams, Kelly DeLong, who kindly agreed to tell us what it’s really like to own a historic home.
