My 1931 Spanish style house in San Diego has the milk door with a dial where you can indicate how many quarts you want, the upper part of the cooler, a compost bucket chute in the kitchen counter, a speakeasy window in the front door, mail slot into the breakfast room, a medicine cabinet over the kitchen sink, and lots of built-in cabinets. The home you show has more of the cool vintage features than most in really good condition; sadly, I see real estate videos for similar houses all over L.A. that have been flipped after having all of the character ripped out or painted over with grey. Most Craftsman homes will easily meet your 100 year old mark. The U.S. has houses going back to the 1600s in New York, Massachusetts, etc. if you really want to be amazed. I do enjoy seeing younger people get excited about house features my parents grew up with. There is a whole community of old house restoration folks on TH-cam
One of my distant relatives built The William Cree House in Pennsylvania. It's a beautiful old stone place, and the family cemetery is still there as well.
@@carriecree1789 That's great! Such wonderful history, with a personal tie to your family. My Maternal grandmother moved to LA from NYC with her parents in 1924. I have a photo she took of a "storybook" style real estate office, with a view of empty streets behind and a few rows of brand new "mock-Tudor" homes with no landscaping. I think my great-grandparents bought one. It probably cost about $1,500.
Our home was built in 1890 in Downtown Los Angeles and taken by eminent domain to make way for the future of luxury condos in the 2000’s. Bunker Hill neighborhood was wiped out in 2004. Our home was 113 years old
Omg I was actually thinking that as I stumbled on your comment. Ya no kidding they would absolutely trash that home. That house is absolutely gorgeous so much character.
My Parents home in Pasadena was built in 1927, almost 100 years old, but sadly doesn't have any of its original charm anymore. Mom remolded it just 3 years ago
“Land line” always cracks me up. You young folk. I once had my husband’s friend in like 2005 ask his son to call his mom that they had made it to our home okay (it was a long drive) using our house phone. He came running to his dad and said, “okay, but how do you use it?” His dad was confused. Went to see we had a rotary phone and he just laughed. We never realized kids dont know what those are! Yes, it still worked fine then and I still use it as my primary “land line.”
In the UK they did an experiment where they put teenagers in a room (with an observation window) and gave them a rotary phone on a table with instructions to make a call. They never did figure it out in the time allotted, but kept pushing the numbers on the dial, LOL. I still remember those beefy black monster phones my grandparents had. You could commit murder with one of those; I'm sure I saw that on a rerun of Perry Mason. :)
@@SpanishEclectic😂Wow, kids are so smart on computers but couldnt figure out a phone! Well all my kids learned how to use rotary phones since that's all we have at our home. I do have one of those heavy phones you speak of, also a rotary candle stick phone (imagine kids trying to figure THAT one out). In an emergency, cell phones will not work, electricity will not work so there go cordless phones, but rotary phones will. Im ready! 😊
You’re not going to know how to use something if you’ve never used it before. I’ve seen the same thing but with old people not being able to use online kiosks ( like to check in or order food). They just stare at the screen and stand around and hope someone comes and do it for them. 😂😂😂 So don’t be so harsh and insensitive! They don’t teach students how to use rotary phones in school, hon lol.
@@thehungrygoldfish Oh Im sure they can learn just fine. My grandmother saw the evolution of the car, phone and television. She learned to use them all just fine.
@@3810-dj4qz Um, as a witness to maybe 50 old people struggling with technology, I beg to differ and all of the people I saw wanted other people to do everything for them because they didn’t understand how to do anything, like literally anything. They just stood in front of the screen like idiots waiting for someone. The worst thing is that they have to use kiosks and computers and phones on a regular basis. At least with rotary phones, no one is going to use it on a regular basis unless they own one. An airport is not going to require people to check in using a rotary phone lol
There are plenty of homes from the 1800s here in New England. We lived in one built in 1882 a while back, and last time I checked, it’s still standing.
I grew up in a 1923 Spanish Revival home in Del Mar, Ca (architect, Richard Requa) from 1967 onwards. My 90 year old mother still lives in that very big, unusual, beautiful house. It's not restored and my musician parents did not keep up repairs. Still totally livable. The only reason the house is still in the family is because my mom is alive and "grandfathered" in to the 1970s property tax law that protected owners from that time period from being chased out by multi-millionaires. Unfortunately, the house can't be inherited to live in because of the assessed worth of the place now. My parents bought it for 38k and it's now assessed at 7m. What a sick society. Anyway, still has original plumbing and electrical wiring (except for ad hoc repairs over the years). We don't use the central heating anymore because there's asbestos in its construction and would cost an arm and a leg to replace with the clean-up. Who cares? Gorgeous house and this house in Long Beach isn't one-of-a-kind. There are several early-to-late 20s Spanish Revival houses still standing (and restored) in little Del Mar alone and I've seen photos and videos of quite a number of such houses in San Diego and LA.
As a Long Islander, I thought this was in Long Beach, New York. Then I saw this video was on Fox 11 in Los Angeles. And yes, Long Beach, New York has Spanish Mission-style structures.
There used to be so many of those cool, 1920's era houses in Long Beach. I wish they had shown more of the bathroom, the tile work in them is beautiful, usually pink or aqua or mint green.
That’s amazing! A very small bungalow but a nice place needed built ins. As for the phone bench, phones were used for ordering things and getting messages to one another people still enjoyed seeing one another in those days. Long yacks on the phone became popular later. An elderly person had to have bought it new and lived there for a very long time for it not to have been updated.
It’s funny to me that this is a news segment. There’s houses multiple hundreds of years old in the East Coast yet this one isn’t even 100 and got a feature. To be fair, I love this house, this is awesome
I can't believe this! This house looks EXACTLY like my mom's house in Wilmington! EXACTLY! Just a little smaller. It no doubt in my mind has to be the same architect. My mom's house was also built in 1927 I believe. I wish I could post a Picture on here. Crazy!
Many years ago I had a milk delivery route in Oklahoma City. When I delivered milk in a few homes I would go right in the house and put the milk in the customers refrigerator. This was in the wee hours of the morning, around 4:00 am. The customer requested this. Some homes had the little door in the wall outside I would put the milk bottles in. How times have changed.
My former home in city terrace was built 1922 and my husband's childhood home is from 1911 in east la. Not very rare to find 100 year old homes in LA. Not sure what made this home special maybe a close friend or relative to someone working there?
If you walk through any big city in Europe, or small town, most houses are centuries old. The house in the video is wonderful, I really appreciated the tour, but didn’t understood the emphasis on “it’s an antique, one of a kind, you won’t see anything like it”. Even in New York, aren’t there a lot of antique buildings? I grew up in a 1700s house, and when renovating we discovered Roman artifacts :) I think that’s why you guys call us the old world :)

Americans would go wild if they knew there are houses and palaces built 600 years ago in Mexico, Italy, UK, France, etc... It's wild how the most common things in other countries amaze and shock people in the US. XD
All the houses here in along beach are over 100 years old from ranch Bixby Knowles, rancho los alamitos and willmore have old house even the house I live in here in Long Beach on Willow and Atlantic Blvd is 98 years old it’ll be 100 in 2026 but the policies that the city have to “keep historic” homes is lousy because you can renovate the house you have to keep the exterior structure 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
100 year old home in Long Beach? Nice, but not really newsworthy. But Long Beach also has a historic 90 year old Ocean Liner too that should still be making headlines because she survived both WWII and freaking COVID and is still with us. The Mary is not going anywhere 😊
Welcome to Longbeach California! I was born and raised in this city. Majority homes are historical structures. Beautiful place! That being said it was such a beautiful place. People that is Originally from LongBeach can relate. Years ago there was a rental property rule that kept these homes I. Their Original condition. There was a rule example. If there was a 2 bedroom home. There was only allowed no more then 4 person to occupy the home. 1 br no more then 2 persons allowed to occupy it. That allowed these historical homes to stay in good condition and in its original state. I wish they would stop building new structures. Build a better Long Beach is taking away the beauty of Longbeach Cali. Only LongBeach Natives would understand.
It’s pronounced di-van, it come from furniture company Davenport furniture in Davenport, Michigan. They were known as the most popular furniture company in the world
Cool house with original features but gosh, making news because it's almost 100 years old? There are historic adobes in Long Beach built in 1800 and 1834. So...almost 200 years old. Open to the public.
I’d say it’s news because these old houses are all being demolished and modern new build houses are being built in their place. I think it’s kinda cool because it’s like a Time Machine to the past. Soon we may not have any more houses like this left
Cmon there are alot of old houses in LA built in the 1920s. I used to live in one.
BUT did your home have all those original antiques & built-ins still standing? 😄
@@sbsk2526 for the most part. The kitchen had very old drawers for things people don't even use anymore.

Please never let the property brothers get ahold of this gem 🙏🏼
Omg I was actually thinking that as I stumbled on your comment. Ya no kidding they would absolutely trash that home. That house is absolutely gorgeous so much character.
Please don't let anyone in the HGTV stable anywhere near this beautiful house.
I was thinking the same. They would "modernize" it with open concept, dull colors, cheap particleboard, and chinese hardware.
Wait built in 1928? Doesn’t that make the home 96 years old? Thats not 100 years old yet 😂
Maths
Back then it probably took longer than a year to build a house, is my guess.
their math are off. i thought the house built 1924. thatv would of be make sense...
I caught that too…that math ain’t mathing 😂
I'm a bit disappointed they couldn't find a 1924 home to profile.... No offense to the owners of this 1928 home! 😁
Hold my beer...my house in Lansing, MI was built in 1886 and it's still going strong! They really don't built them like they used to.
I really appreciate these people
There's plenty of 100 year homes All around the country! LA. San Pedro. Ect
gaawwdd San Pedro sound nice there
Yup !
We just sold ours in Florence, CA
South LA
And it was 1922. Sold in 2022 for $630k
My house in San pedro is 100 yrs old, there's lots in LA, it's not THAT old
My brother has a nearly identical home in Long Beach. These homes tend to be in the WORST streets.
Wrong
I'm glad that people that care buy these homes.
Thank you for perserving this home, especially the interior!
So VERY COOL! Love that they keep it original!
How Kool ..I love old homes ..very unique ❤🤩
My grandmother lived in that exact style home in Long Beach. I’m 64.
If a home is well built it should last 100 years easily. Especially in Californias climate.
My Parents home in Pasadena was built in 1927, almost 100 years old, but sadly doesn't have any of its original charm anymore. Mom remolded it just 3 years ago
My LA house is 101, I was wondering what that outside “milk window” was. So cool!
Goes to show you how good things were built back then .
