The county says it’s 1900. It’s a two story side by side duplex. The only addition to house is a two story porch that reaches the bottom of the second story bedroom window (the bedroom above the kitchen im working on).
The porch was put on the 80s I think.
The porch is through the wall my light is on in this picture. The white shit at the bottom is all dust.

Most likely it was a single family split into a duplex. In any event you have a bunch of demo first, plans second.

I've wondered about that but I think it's always been a duplex. It has separate basements, shows up on maps around 1900 as being two addresses, and has transoms over the entrance doors. This area was very working class around that time and this would have been a large house and pretty crappy house for someone who could afford a house this big.
But yeah, just trying to get all my ducks in a row to make an informed decision on the demo.
