Have you spent time in 150 year old building.

I live in a house that was built in 1923. There were no power tools back then, no cranes to lift the trusses, everything was done by hand. You can feel the pride in my house, the care that was taken in building it the best way they knew how. One of them painted his initials in my attic with the date next to it. This house has sheltered many people, seen children born and grow, seen people die and it is rich in history and emotion. Is that what you felt in that old building? It's sad that people tear down old buildings rather than use them when they are structurally sound. New isn't always better!

I always felt that old people were more creative and intelligent than the present generation. They had plenty in their head. Many of the remarkable achievement were made by those from the past generation. They had no latest tools or technology to assist, but still they created masterpieces. Today we get to see bridges and dams collapsing within a few days of construction, But some of the old bridges are still in great condition. It speaks volumes about their super brain..thx

I have been in some very old buildings also that they have now modernised. I wish they had left it the way it was also because it would have been nice to see what it actually was. I understand restoration but they did not have to totally change everything.

I havent stayed in a 150 year old building yet. But if i am lucky to be alive for another 50 yrs i may.. I am living in a house which is 100 years old.. so i am almost there, right? thx
