200+ year old homes

We talk alot about the 100+ yr old brown/limestone homes here in NY. I drank the koolaid and now own one.

How many homes in NYC are 200+ yrs old (or outside of NYC for that), that have sustained the test of time? The significant investments into our homes that many of us are making, I would presume suggests we think our homes (with good maintenance) will live to tell a story for another century or so.

What locations or properties can I/we reference to compare the potential lifespans (or at least my) of our properties (all things being equal of course)? Or are well just medium term investors?
