You may want to double check that the historic buildings you see in historic districts are actually, uhh, historic. Historic building codes have been around for hundreds of years in some areas and many of the buildings are rebuilds and ones that didn’t fit the mold have been rebuilt.
Not that modern concrete architecture is not a blight on our cities, but not all historic buildings were originally as charming as we may see them today.
