I guess It was calculated using the barometric pressure readings recorded at a city that was that far away. This excerpt was taken from wikipedia.

Meh...
It looks like a very cold fancy hotel or office space not a home. Frankly I'd much rather live in my current home than that, regardless of the amount of money I had to spend. If I had stupid money to throw at a house, I'd want something like the house Dwayne Johnson has up for sale about 3 miles from where I live now. Except I would want it on a lake somewhere.

In fact I am not convinced there was even a city with a full time barometer monitoring technician within 100 miles of there in 1883!

I don't know but I would love to have the dead bird that hit the windows clean-up contract!

That's what the staff is for....oh staff....STAFFFFFF!
Now that I think about it, maybe that's why he's listed it for 1.4M less than he paid for it two years ago.

I saw that too, asking for less than what he got it for, he must really want to get rid of it. Considering the state of the housing market. |

We had a telegraph cable across the Atlantic 20 years before that. I could believe a barometer was being monitored at a port town at that era.

My first job at 15 was picking rocks out of a disk'd hay field. I think I would have rather stared at a barometer.

At 15? I was half that when I was doing it. Still would prefer it from staring at a barometer.

It was a great question! I've seen lots of dead axles with sub-frame-mounted torsion bars but my search for new car stuff ends at this forum.
