You're in Byzantium, Eastern Roman Empire. It's like the time I was in various parts of East Coast cities an there were houses dated with plaques back to 1490's. It was a wake call and how very comfortable they looked. I wondered how many times they had been replumbed, rewired. How many times painted and all were two stories tall at least.

The front of a house could be deceiving when one considered the approximate square footage as houses could go back a long ways in that era. There were houses from the 15, 16, and 1700's along the street.

History, a neighborhood that grew over hundreds of years and they lived on a highway.
