Granted, it's only 6 stories, but I think we can forgive that, given that it's 500 years old.
- JackPoach 8y agoThat is really impressive. However, this is an exception, not the rule and I've seen a number of old wooden houses in really, really bad shape when I lived in Sacramento. Even after 50 or so years. Of course, they have termite problem in California, that doesn't happen in other parts of the world as much.
