you can go to county records. they will have all the records on when it was built, any building permits that were applied for as well as inspections of completed work. the legal description of the property and if there are any liens against the property. the records should be free for the asking although i'm sure all counties have different paper work for requesting this information. if you get a good worker they will help you with what you are looking for

With a property this old, it's possible an Abstract was filed with the County Clerk. A lot of information is on the listing agreement or in the MLS listings. If the original toilet stool is still in place, it will have a date imprinted inside the back of tank.

There should be papers for it that are called abstract papers. In Illinois, the current owners of the house have to provide the abstract papers on request. I'm not sure about other states. But even if you can't get them from the current owners, they should be filed at the courthouse of the county that the house is in or with the abstract office of that county.

your realtor should know this information if not then maybe the contractor could help you also , when the contractor shows up make sure you are present so what ever questions you have he or she could answer. hope this helps
