LOL, as it was not their house when it was built, that doesn't even make sense.
If I were asked that question, I'd say I would like it just fine. People who own historical homes are often quite proud to tell about their history. To be offended that someone might be interested in the history of your house prior to you is quite bizarre to me.
My house was only built in 1999 so there's nothing interesting about it. In fact I've only lived in one old house, which had been split up into apartments like they used to do on Bunker Hill, so I have no clue on its history. I grew up in my parents' house in Fullerton, built in about 1958 by a large company most likely, as it was a tract home.
Flyingwedge, that was a fantastic writeup!
Just awesome.
