Damp-proofing of buildings was unknown in the 19th century and only became commonplace after the turn of the century. Buildings dating from before then are unlikely to have been constructed with any kind of mechanism to prevent moisture from being drawn up into the walls and floors through capilliary action. Early 20th century buildings are likely to have imperfect systems and age will not have improved their efficiency.
