Removal of old houses: Sad to see It is sad that outward appearance is what is deemed worthy these days instead of substance. Click on headline for complete commentary By Joyce M. Coomer It is sad to see old houses disappear, especially those that could be made liveable again. I have always enjoyed old houses, the older the better, and will explore them, to see how the house was constructed and how the rooms are laid out, and if there is no furniture present, I imagine how people arranged furniture in the rooms and what pieces of furniture they would have used. It is sad that people nowadays consider an old house to be derelict and unworthy of residing in if the paint is peeling, if the window shades are hanging sideways, if the yard is unkempt - all cosmetic concerns, not the heart of the house. Many of the older houses, no matter the size or style, in this county (and across the state) are constructed much more solidly than houses less than 40 years old; I have been in houses of all ages and construction and can assure you I would rather live in a house more than 50 years old than in a house less than 20 years old. It is sad that the only way people see houses that are more than ten or fifteen years old are as eyesores unless people of a certain perceived status live there (then the house is "quaint"). It is sad that outward appearance is what is deemed worthy these days instead of substance. - Joyce M. Coomer This story was posted on 2013-07-22 21:34:27
