Author Topic: When was your house built? Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-10-2004 05:34 PM                        Following on from the 'off topic' diversion in the 'upload your pictures' thread, herewith the above question. Mine was completed by 1640 - well, it's not really 'mine', since I only rent a flat/apartment in it - two years before the outbreak of the English Civil War. Can anyone go further back than that?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-10-2004 07:44 PM                     1902 here is what it looks like and as you can see we are trying to sell it (running out of room now where did I but those 10 VIC10's )  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-10-2004 08:13 PM                  Nice lookin' house Gordie...but WTF has ORANGE walls?

It was one of those years that didn't matter because I wasn't alive yet.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-10-2004 09:11 PM                     Phil is correct SWMBO choose the colour scheme (in fact she is visable in the exterior picture the arch way into the kitchen and the organ are my contributions (as is the fountain fireplace and BBQ in the backyard)  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 06-11-2004 01:06 AM                     My house is old.. mid 1950's.... Anything older than 1980 in SoCal seems to get torn down. There is little history here.. and places where the old homes are.. well.. I won't drive near those areas. Gordon! I love that room! I love the colour, the lamps and sculptures! Very "modern" and cool!

Do you have those speakers that were mounted firing upwards into dummy pipes?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-11-2004 05:42 AM                     Gordon's house was '02?

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2004 07:16 AM                        I don't know the date, but my building would have been built around the turn of the century (late 1800s/early 1900s). Here is a pic of my street, taken in mid-March. My door is behind the Jeep just to the right of center in this shot. I'm on the top floor, although the original design was for houses (4 floors plus basement), rather than apartments. (The picture is in focus, but the scan isn't. I need a better scanner.)  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 06-11-2004 07:28 AM                     Leo, I heard that you can't actually own land in England. It all belongs to the governement, and home owners actually just have long term leases on the land under their homes? Is this true? /Mitchell  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 06-11-2004 07:34 AM                     No, anybody can own land, but some property is leasehold. it's less common than it used to be. Most of this land is not owned by the Government, but by various institutions. Mitchell, I think I saw you in April, but I didn't realise it was you at the time. Were you standing near the back of the auditorium at the Lafayette in Suffern, after 'Amadeus'? If so, I was sitting just in front of you. I saw a face that looked familiar, but I couldn't place it at the time. Hope to see you again next year.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 06-11-2004 07:53 AM                     Yep, that was me at the Lafayette Theatre. I didn't see you, or I would have said hello. /Mitchell  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2004 08:56 AM                     Yes that is a Conn 642 one of the first all tubes jobs (getting in ruff shape can't find any schematics for it though) Originally it was owned by Kathlean Stokes who during the war was the organist for the "Happy Gang" on CBC radio and was also a noted Toronto Theatre Organist No I don't have the pipes wish I did Orange is cool it is actually quiet relaxing and the back yard is relatively quiet for being on a main street (The fountain masks most of the noises and the fireplace adds warmth) The dinning room light fixture I got at Home Depot as I had no plans of leaving the 1950 Sputnic lamp fixture we had there  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-11-2004 10:38 AM                       Eh, I gotcha all beat.
