In England, I lived in a house built in the early 1600s. It was nice, though there were no longer any right angles or level floors in the place. When I bought a place, I went for something more modern, built in the 1880s.

There's a pub not far from here that was built in the mid-800s, though it wasn't always used as a pub. It started as a longhouse: animals at one end, people at the other, fire pit on the floor in the middle. Now that it's a pub, based on the clientele I've seen in there, the animals are at both ends.
