If the house even still exists and is in a desirable part of town in a desirable city, then yes it will certainly commend a premium. Though often as much for its location as for any other reason. But consider also that in 1900, the population of the US was less than a quarter of what it is now, and also that the number of people per household is much less. Also, a lot (probably most) houses that existed in 1900 don't even exist any more. So in reality there are relatively few houses that old that are still available today.
