I have mixed feelings about this one. I grew up in a house that was built in 1906. My grandmother’s house was built in 1894. I love older houses. I think that much of the craftsmanship found in older homes is simply not found in newer homes due to the prohibitive cost. But, the author makes a persuasive argument about things like HVAC efficiency and safety advances in new construction.
