Thanks Christine. Yes, 1832 is old for Michigan, particularly old for the far boonies of Detroit. And it's really old for Chicago (which is quite a bit younger than Detroit). Not old for the east coast. In my previous "home town," Matawan, New Jersey, the oldest house was built in 1687. And of course these would all be youngsters in many parts of Europe.
