When my Parisian wife and I were dating we drove by a barn in California said it was built in 1862 - I pointed it out as an old building, she laughed and said the middle school she attended was built in 1680
LOL not much original construction remaining from that far back. Before the town was established in the 1790s, it had been a trading centre for the Iroquois and other tribes in the area because it was at the convergence of several canoe routes that covered much of what is now Ontario, New York, Ohio and Michigan (I was told that Toronto means “Meeting Place” in one of the tribal languages). There are several sites around here where on can still find the occasional arrowhead or shard of pottery.
I observed that alot of the old buildings in paris where in public service. firehouses and such. makes for an interesting city.
