It's 104 years old. It should be near needing to be demolished.
Tell me you’re from the US without telling me you’re from the US. In Europe a 100 year old house isn’t uncommon and isn’t even close to needing to be demolished.
You're not wrong, but the houses you're referencing probably weren't prefab.
Yeah, 60-80 years is average for the survival of a wooden framed house if it is taken care of. Yes some will last till 200, but for every 1 that does, hundreds have been torn down.
If it’s poorly made… there are houses in Europe that have been continuously owned longer than the USA has existed.
