Wow. I'm leaving for 5 days in DC with the wife & kids on Wednesday and wish we had a couple of months to see all of the cool stuff there is within an hour or so's drive of the city. Very nice photos, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah,

There isn't anything that old here. I've been in the oldest still-existing home built by the white settlers in this state - it belongs to a friend of mine - and it was built in 1855.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

To date, the oldest home I've inspected was a French Huguenot estate home out in Powhatan County, Virginia, the estimated date of construction was 1798 (200 years old at the time of the inspection, making it 212 years old today.) It was large and spacious, but like these homes, quite simple in design. Not particularly ornate. The cellar was like being in a catacomb - all brick foundation and piers.
