The build date of 1900 doesnt sound right though. Maybe it was last added to at that time. ???
in many cases (at least around here), when the more modern record keeping started they just picked a generic date as a build date for older buildings. We looked at many old homes before picking this one that showed that practice- ours has a historic plaque on it that says built in 1830 (and we know that to be approximate for the start of construction)- but the listing had a generic date


good luck on your research- looking forward to another of your articles
