Foundation issues? maybe

[Mike S.]

Hello all. I have an opportunity to buy this brick ranch with a partial walk out basement/garage. Dont see a whole lot of houses in this part of the country with basements. It appears there was a water issue in the past that has been addressed with gutters and an elaborate drain system that drains further out into the yard. Beyond the the slab floor part there is about 2 feet of damp dirt then raises up to a crawl space that is dry. by the appearance of these walls does it look like some concrete repair work was done at some point or do you think it was built this way back in 1956. thanks in advance
