When Was Hill House in The Haunting of Hill House (2018) Built?
In The Haunting (1963) Dr. Markway claims that Hill House "has stood for 90 years", and that it was built "90 odd, very odd, years" earlier. Acording to IMDB the filming period included 1 October 1962.

So the script should have been written with about 1962 as the film's fictional date. Thus in the movie Hill House should have been built sometime during the period of about 1862 to 1872.
The mansion used for exterior shots of Hill House, Ettington Park, was actually built between 1858 and 1862, so its style agrees with the fictional building date.

Thee is a scene where they read an inscription in a book from Hugh Crain to Abigale:
Hill House 21st Ocotober, 1873.
But that's today No tomorrow and 90 years later."
So the date off that scene should be 20 October 1963.
So when was the Hill House in The Haunting of HIll Hoose (2018) built? What statements are made about its age? share
