Pre-war: Buildings constructed before World War II. Pre-war buildings are renowned for their quality of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and architectural splendor. Generally you will find nine- to ten-foot-high ceilings, hardwood strip or inlaid parquet floors, thick plaster walls that provide good sound insulation, fireplaces, and such woodwork details as moldings and decorative trim.

They were constructed prior to December, 1941, when the US entered World War II.

When you describe a building as "pre war" you really need to specify which war.

That's a cutesy way of saying bad wiring and plumbing. Roof may collapse at any moment.
