As we celebrate our 175th anniversary of Appleton’s Oldest House, we ask the question, what is this called?

A 175-year anniversary is most commonly referred to as a dodransbicentennial, which signifies a "quarter short of two centuries" (175 = 200 - 25). Another term used to describe this milestone is a demisemiseptcentennial, which translates to half of a half of seven hundred years.
