#so i looked him up & im assuming this was the dude who died in 1929 and was one of Germany's first pilots. he survived the fall of monarchy

[no-rice-panda]

This has been a shit week but reading through a 1911 edition of Popular Mechanics is giving me much need dopamine

Like damn absolutely roast this 2 year old house why don't you. Oh you rather prefer aesthetics over CORRECT Roman numerals? You absolute little freak house, you.

And the bit about the aristocracy and the revolution business, mmm chef's kiss.

[Photo ID: Screenshot of an article with a headline that reads "1909 Freak". The short article below reads as follows "An original rendering of the year 1909 in Roman numerals may be seen on the front of a house constructed in that year near Manchester, Eng. The correct lettering of course would be MCMIX instead of XIXCIX. The builder seemed to have more regard for architectural ornamentation than accuracy."

To the left of the article is a black and white illustration of a two story English Tudor-style house with the Roman numberals decorating the exterior.

Below this article and image is a small anecdote that reads "Prince Henry of Prussia is making flights in an aeroplane. If the revolution business continues to prosper, there are others of royal blood to whom a 'plane might come handy' ". ID End]

#i hope to god that house actually existed because i can't find anything online. i need it to have been real. #i also wonder what happened to Henry with his aeroplane business. i wonder if the revolution business crashed him and his aeroplane #so i looked him up & im assuming this was the dude who died in 1929 and was one of Germany's first pilots. he survived the fall of monarchy #now i have more dopamine & knowledge about Manchester home freaks & the history of modern Germany so win-win #me
