[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can one build a new house with the character and feel of old nice homes from 100 years ago?  That is, solid construction with good current standards but with the feel of old houses (eg molding, architecturally correct dimensions, etc)?  Wouldn't that be the best of all worlds? [/quote]

Yes of course. But [b]it's not efficient or cost effective to individualize[/b] which is why you won't see developers doing it. You can do it on your own but the process can be very expensive and time consuming.[/quote]w

To me, that is good enough reason to not be attracted to new homes.  Interestingly, developments in the 1930s (but not after that), while definitely not as nice as, say, Georgetown, did have these type of architecturally interesting elements.  Looks like cookie-cutter 80 years ago was, in general, nicer than cookie-cutter now.[/quote]

so you like old McMansions not the new ones  :roll: [/quote]

You do not understand what a McMansion is.[/quote]
