Hopefully the ground floor was tall enough for him.
It is because I'm taller than he was, and it's absolutely perfect for me.
Oldest house is 1702. Definitely not super-old, there were earlier structures, but this is the oldest one left standing.
The oldest building in this city is a two-room (originally) cottage that dates back to 1841. It's not the first permanent structure built here, but it's the oldest still standing.
Not sure but my city refuses to tear some down old buildings for "historical prosperity. These aren't even nice buildings, they're all condemed generic concrete blocks.
A French embassy built in 1841 when the territory was its own country. It's now a 5 minute walk to the nearest Wendy's from there.
Both where I'm from and where I live in western Europe are the oldest buildings 14th-century churches.
