The Large AntiBellam(Sic), English Tudor and other Homes seem to be lost forever when it comes to building New Houses.
A House can be constructed and a Frontal Elevation can be added to give it a different look. But with each change comes cost.
Our New House while very nice is not what I would think of to build. Again, costs.
honeychile,
You are so right! It is cost effective to build of cement blocks and be sterile than be awesome for presentation.
I think the good old days are lost. Just look at the new houses being built today!
You can check LX Z web site
www.lambdachizeta.org and see our New House.
Cost, @ $750,000.00 for 15 housing. We also owned the 3 corner lost it is setting on so that is not figured in to the cost.
Cost for building, depending on where it is, is at least $100 + a square foot.
With rules and regulations, it usually inflates the building costs.
