My Craftsman style house was built in 1914 and features 3/4 birds-eye maple hardwood flooring, 12 inch high red oak molding, built-ins, real stained glass windows, thick metal return and air vents, and solid wood doors with forged hinges and hardware among other quality details. And the house is all brick, covered in stucco, both stories.

Compare that to ballooned framed new construction with plastic trim, hollow doors, click flooring, and vinyl windows.

My city house has it's quirks, but damn it has character in comparison newer houses.
