Stan,
Are you still in a rural area or has the city/suburbs grown out to surround you?
...An interesting place to live nonetheless and under 200 years old!

And some older houses just got lucky. I live in a log cabin constructed in 1837, the year that this portion of Missouri was "bought" from the native inhabitants. Some termite damage over the years, but the basic original log cabin is the shell around which the rest of the house is built.
Actually, to be precise, it was two log cabins constructed in the typical southern dog-trot or mule-trot style. Later covered over to look like a typical Federal Style farmhouse. The original family lived here until 1946, the second owner had the house until the late '60's, we've had it since '83.
