At first I thought, the newer the better. But a friend told me that construction in the 60s and 70s tended to be somewhat stronger because nowadays builders use a lot of particle board and cut corners. Also, I think the 30s-50s were probably also a bad time for home construction due to the scarcity of materials and the sharp increase in demand. I don't really know much about home construction, so I'm interested in your opinion if you do.

Thanks for any help!
