35 Vintage Century Houses Showing Off Beautifully Timeless Craftsmanship

I grew up in San Francisco. While much of the old homes burned down in the great fire of 1906, a large section of the city remained untouched.

These vintage Victorian houses feature craftsmanship you just can’t find today, and have stood the test of time.

This post is a celebration of the beauty of good vintage craftsmanship. These century homes have not only lasted with minimal upkeep, but still shine bright with woodworking and engineering that is truly breathtaking.
