Our landlord tells us that it was built in 1897.

I keep trying to tell my landlord my building was built in 1883, not 1919, showing 1886 landmaps and 1901 photos as evidence, but then of course I suspect they believe the ballyhoo about this Internet thing is likely really overdone. Who would believe evidence gleaned online from the NY Public Library? Me, paranoid? Nah…
