Before 1950

All the houses on my block were built well before the 1950's and after confirming with the elderly tenants I found out that it was constructed in 1931. There were minor renovations such as different floor tiles and repainted walls but ultimately my building has an older look to it. The reason why I could tell my apartment was made before 1950 is because it's a red brick house and all the houses are attached therefore sharing the same gas line. There's a very visible difference between houses that were recently built compared to the old fashion ones. For example the houses that were built not long ago are made out of frames and also include balconies. The majority of them are semi-attached homes.
I love my house just the way it is, not necessarily because of the appearance but more for the memories that were created. The most memorable moment I had was when I had annoyed my sister and she angrily threw a battery at me. Fortunately I was lucky enough to dodge it. Instead it had hit the wall and the impact of the battery left a small crack. The walls aren't what they use to be and over the years it became more fragile. I also have countless memories on my rooftop, which is a fire exit. This is another indication that my apartment was built long ago because the new houses have special fire exits on their floor. Overall, my building is impeccable the way it is regardless of when it was built.
