[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you build a house like this today? Like fully reproduce the interior finish? [/quote]

Not short of billionaire funds. The woodwork  is just not to be had. If you can find folks with those carpentry skills, it is unlikely you will find wood of the same quality.

It looks like they are working on the roof. New buyers often tear off the slate, but if you maintain it, it’s amazing. It doesn’t break down.

T[b]he windows and inside light are breathtaking.[/b]

Probably expensive to heat, but the feeling of living in a house with this ceiling height and light (those green and blue walls can be changed) is certainly feel good. [/quote]

The bedrooms are so bright!

I too noticed how full of natural light it is. This is what I meant by good design.  Someone took time to plan the layout for symmetrical doorways, for windows on the same axis to let light and air into the house, for internal flow of traffic and air, for the space to filter this.  it did not happen by accident.

That's characteristic of Georgian architecture, and also of building in a time and place with no a/c.  You need to have cross draft to keep from melting.[/quote]
