Do we want 100 year old buildings? The house where I grew up was made before Portland came to our zone, so it was made of lime mortar and rocks, some of them as big as a mellon, I found out when I tried to drill the walls to put a basketball basket. It was demolished in the eighties, but not because it was in bad shape. I met the bulldozer operator years later and he recalled how he had a hard time with it. I'm sure it would have been fine today, when it would be 100 y.o. or close. And I'm sure there's no other place where I'd rather live. It was cool in the summer, easy to warm in the winter, no mold, little noise from the outside.
