I think Ward's Folly in Port Chester, New York was 1853 or 1854. In any
case, I have always understood that it was the oldest concrete house in the
US. What are you planning to do to the house? Make room for a dishwasher in
the kitchen?

Horace Greeley Conc. House

Built by Horace Greeley in 1856 this structure is reputed to be the oldest
concrete house in America.

Would appreciate information regarding BP experience w/ early concrete
structures such as their construction & materials composition. Need input
before I mess up the house without it.

Looking for interesting information on the history of the house regarding
Horace Greeley. Understand he commuted on weekends by steam train.

Need background input to impress potential customer.
