Just west of Spring Valley on OH-725.
1944 OH-725. The house was built in 1900.
It is likely older than 1900; Greene County's online records list every house built prior to 1900 as 1900. There is a house at that location on the 1874 Greene County Atlas....
I did wonder about all of the houses built in 1900 in Greene County - that is good to know. Thx! I prefer Warren County's online site. Unfortunately I'm at a distinct disadvantage searching in Ohio after living in Texas for 40 years :). But I enjoy searching for houses I remember from my youth. Besides, I've tagged nearly every photo from the Houston/Galveston area!
1900 also is an epoch date for some computer systems, so lack of information gets populated with the system default [even if it doesn't make sense for the area]. Some counties have "old" instead of "1900" as a placeholder, as their auditor/GIS system uses different software.
Of course, this can result in odd situations where "1900" appears on the record of a building built 1901, maybe 1910 in some cases; I've seen "1902" specifically on 1870s and 1880s buildings, and there's always human error, etc.
