The answer may well rest in your county courthouse. A "title abstract" will trace the ownership history of your property. If you are willing to spend the money, a title search company will provide this service. Expect to spend somewhere around !150.00.
Examination of the abstract will give you a clue as to when your house might have been built. A change in ownership and a description of the property will offer clues.
Once you have the abstract, an examination of the property tax records should get you to within a couple of years as to the age of the house. A jump in the valuation of the property will be the main clue.
All of the abovementioned are public records. If you have the time, you can do the searches yourself. The personnel at the courthouse should be willing to point you in the right direction.
You might also want to check with your local historical society and/or your local newspaper. Both may have information you can use. Both should be willing to at least point you in the right direction. Your local library may also house relevant information.
Good luck with your search for information.

If by 'house records', you mean who owned your house previously, what year and for how much, etc, look in your Abstract & Title. You should be able to find out what you need to know from there.

At the county or township recorders. They should have a copy of your deed that has date built, any additions, and property lines.

Go to your county's website, and go to the Auditor's page, and look under property information.
