I was just in Norfolk VA. and I saw a multi-block new development that somehow managed to be built with enough thought to look like it was plucked right out a very dense 1830 city. The feel was very much like center city Philadelphia. I was really pleased because with it which definitely fits with one aspect of this article on classical architecture. All the houses had small little nooks cranny yards and porches that were necessities in the 1830's and awesome luxuries in today's cities. The development was very true to the original design but used modern materials to look old. I would be just as happy to have seen the exact neighborhood recreated in another material such as cast concrete. I bet it would have been just as exciting and cheaper to build.
