1900 Residential Rents [1]

Take a look at how inexpensive it was to rent a house a hundred years ago. This is a copy of an advertisement from the 1903  Charlotte Observer.  A family could rent a seven-room house in uptown Charlotte for $25.00 a month in the early 1900s. In one hundred years, the rent for this same house will be $2000.00
