Install Antique

Electrical question for old wiring?

I have an antique home and I am trying to install a new ceilimg fan. The box only has a black and a white wire from the ceiling. I know where to connect the ceiling fan colored wires to - but to which do I put the ground to ?? Do I attach it to the black wire or the white wire??

You do not have anything to connect to the ground. You absolutely should not connect either the black or white wires to the ground terminal. Certainly not the black, ideally neither.

The fan will function fine. The ground wire is a safety feature only. Because of the location of the fan, not having a ground connection should not cause any personal danger. Installing without the ground in this circumstance is allowed under National Electric Code.
