I moved to Boston last year and have had the pleasure of living in one of the only cities in America with structures that are more than 300 years old and still being used on a daily basis.
my oldest building was built in or around 1930-ish timeframe. It's doing pretty well for itself, and was added on in the late 1970's. It is a sears mail-order catalog pre-fab house!

Unless you knew what to look for, you would assume that the scene was one of unadulterated natural beauty.
The first thing to look for is lawns. If there's a lawn, it isn't natural. Excepting the odd Hippopotamus habitat on the banks of African rivers and lakes.
i live in an old hasidic building that was built in the early 1900s -- so around 100 years or so. i can't expect it will be here for another hundred, though -- both the condition of the building and the slowly-creeping condos from north williamsmburg/greenpoint assure me of that.
