Century Old House

While researching the 1918 Spanish Flu in San Diego, I ran across the advertisement for a home for sale in San Diego in December 1918.   I found a Google Street View that shows that same home still exists today, and looks much the same 102 years later!

It is 2000 SF and 4 bedrooms, just like it was in 1918.  However, the value of the home has increase quite a bit.  It was on the market for $6,000 in 1918, while Zillow values it at $996,000 today.

I hope this house sees another hundred years, it has a great design.  From the front anyway.  But it's probably time for that Ficus tree to go.
