You can look up the inflation index statistics online, (I've done it before) and multiply the original cost by that factor. If you know the square footage of the building, you can get a more accurate number by investigating the cost per square foot of similar size buildings in your area.

You would need to know how much inflation went up each year from 1868 to 2006. Then you would have to factor in the cost of living index for those years also. Only then would you be able to come up with the answer to your question.

the same exact specifications? one can imagine it'd be less than 180,000 1868 dollars converted into 2006 dollars. the technologies we have today along with the steep overhead involved in following building codes would make the cost less.

$180,000 in 1868 dollars.

depends on the location. Inflation causes prices to rise differently in different areas.
