I have a fancy for all things old...especially old houses and the architecture of earlier times. I like visiting places in Europe because old/traditional houses are everywhere. I always said to myself that if I ever end up having lots and lots of money, I will buy myself a very old house just for fun. Here is an old building in the german province of Hessen. Most of the buildings are from the 19th century or earlier.

I loved all the old houses we saw when we were travelling through Europe. The half-timbered ones were especially lovely. This one was in St Justin.

@tzwrites I fell in love with it. It was ancient. The year 1320 is carved into the lintel above the door. I hope you can see it. You may need to enlarge it.

I too, have a fascination of things architecture. But both old and new. I love new designs and new technology. Whenever I enter a house I immediately look for the architecture...but I don't think I want to live in something old. I love roomy spaces.

I love living in old houses. I don't like new houses, they all look the same. And I bet they won't last hundreds of years like many of the old houses have...

@tzwrites I supposed we are all shaped my our early environment. i grew up in old tattered house so, enough of that. I think old houses do have a personality of its own and can be equally fascinating.

I also love old traditional houses, a lot more than modern houses.

They all seem to have something interesting or unique about them.

@tzwrites I agree, the modern houses are "cold".

I also love older houses, but not the headaches that come with them. Modern styles are ugly to me.

Same. Many of the modern styles I find ugly. It's true there are many headaches with old houses

The architecture of vintage homes and buildings have greater visual appeal than contemporary.

a traditional house here would be either a nipa hut or a bahay na bato (stone house). what i liked about my grandparent's nipa hut was they only had basic stuff, so no clutter, and not much to clean. i would make modifications, though.
