It shows the house that I grew up in that I now live in again as 1960 when it was built in 1959. A friends house is listed as 1900 when it was built in 1890's. So i'm thinkin you're right about the ending in '0" thing. Why would they do that tho? **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

Because unlike other factors (lot size, for example), the precise year built is not essential information for tax collection purposes. So they aren't going to commit to the labor costs of locating building permits--which are distributed in how many village, town & city halls?--for every structure in Erie County. *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:**:-.,_,.-* Cynthia Van Ness, MLS, bettybarcode AT yahoo DOT com http://www.BuffaloResearch.com "Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living. City living by its definition is crowded. It is tolerant of other people.
