They weren't priced much less than City Modern, and the whole thing was being done cheap...everything was wood-framed, faux this, facade that. They literally just don't build 'em like they used to.
And like I said, I love the ornate styling of old buildings...there are a few in Midtown that have preserved this on the outside, but then they gutted the interiors. Even the Westin is a bit like this...very few interior details were preserved during the remodel.
And don't get me started on the whole "mansion subdividing" thing...it makes me sad for these once-great structures, even if it does mean that they're being inhabited. From what I've researched on G.C., some subdividing has occurred over the years, but it's just not the same as a standalone house with ugly wood decking hulking on the outside.
But yeah, I'm happy with my choice. Thanks for the support!
