Both these houses were built about the same time.
Obviously they have lived very different lives, have had different owners and different families living in them. Our house was built in 1926 in the town of Pioche, Nevada while the other house was built in what now is a state park. Our house is empty while the park house is full of antiques from the era. Ours has car windshield reflectors over the windows while the park house has actual curtains. Our house has newer aluminum windows while the park house has the original wood frame windows. Our house has an asphalt tab roof while the park house has a metal roof.
Our house does have an inside bathroom and indoor plumbing, while the other house has an outhouse. Ours is hooked up to city water and sewer but we aren't using it yet, as its $65 monthly whether we're there to use it or not once we get it turned on. The other house might have water, but maybe it only has an inside pump or they had to gather it in buckets and carry it to the house.
Our house had a wood stove at some point but no longer and the other one still has theirs.
I am hoping someday ours will look a little more like the other one.
