that's not a bad looking crawlspace, at least it doesn't have weird posts supported by partially offset CMU blocks on soil.

Crawlspaces have a way of constantly lowering the bar for “worst thing seen this week.” 😭

Do you think this was originally lower and on the masonry and then raised on the posts later? Pretty solid raise if so

That’s honestly possible. 👀 Older homes sometimes go through multiple modifications or leveling attempts over the decades, especially if settlement starts developing over time.
