Demolition Treasures

Once the walls came down, we actually found some old newspapers stuffed in the area under the attic and above the main stairs.  The date on them was from April 1941, so we are assuming that is the date the house was probably constructed?  Or perhaps it was from installing insulation pretty early on because Zillow has our house listed as having been built in 1938?  (I haven't done the definitive research on what the actual year was yet...)  Either way, it was neat to see some of the pages.  It was in VERY poor shape, and most of it crumbled away when we picked it up.  We left most of it where we found it, but I got some pictures of some of the pages.

Crazy to think these are from before any of our parents were born!!!  But it was certainly interesting to see some of the original house prices in this area! (For reference, our house is approximately $300k now!)
