Had had vs Did have

1.When you worked in your last job,.............. your own office?
I know that did you have is correct, But is:"Had you had" not?
2.Also I know this sounds archaic but is "had you" right? Or does this rule only apply to the present "have you"?

When you worked in your last job,.............. I know that did you have is correct, But is:"Had you had" not? "had you had" is not grammatically wrong, but I think you'll have to wait a great many years to find an English speaker who says that — at least where I live (California).
