Love, love, love this article! In our area they keep building houses and leaving the old ones to rot and eventually to be torn down. It breaks my heart. I love my old house, and though it’s a little work, it is so much more fulfilling to make it into our home than just designing and building over and over again.

Amazing article! I feel exactly the same way. I love history that I can touch and smell, not just pictures printed onto paper or artifacts behind glass. I like to see it, imagine it become a part of it. This is why I want to spend my life restoring historic landmarks in America. My dream is to restore at least one landmark in each US state.

Years ago when painting a bedroom we uncovered a patch of old cowboy themed wall paper that would have been in a boys room in the 1920′s. My twin sons who would have been 6 or 7 at the time were facinated by that wall paper and ask question after question about who the boy would have been and what he was like and where he was now. I couldn’t give them any answers but it was fun for them to use their imaginations. Living in an old home is definately a love hate relation ship but this article reminds me why my wife and I love the 105 year old house we have called home for the last 21 years.

Wow Scott! I couldn’t have said it better myself. Historic buildings are the most interactive artifacts of the built environment. They cause us to ask questions and be filled with wonder. Stories and lessons can be approached in an inter-disciplinary way from history, to the social sciences, to humanities, to mathematics and engineering!

You said exactly what I think about old houses. They are magic, and I wouldn’t live anywhere else, despite the upkeep !
