[quote=Anonymous]For me it's about solidity. My 1910 rowhouse just feels solid. Doors can be closed and provide more than a towel's worth of sound barrier. Kids can run up and down the stairs without rattling the rest of the house (though the floors do squeak!) The floor joists are like 18 inches of rock-hard oak. Solid brick provides insulation from noise and temperature fluctuations. Plus we've replaced the old single-pane windows and added extra insulation to the attic. It just feels all safe and solid and warm, and I don't think I could live in one of those toothpick-and-tyvek new builds with its great room and palladian windows and non-human scaled spaces.
