I like older houses.

I had one built in the 19th century. All of the trim and interior doors were mahogany and had mortise locks for skeleton keys. There were French doors leading from the living room to the den and a pocket door between the dining room and kitchen. The dining room also had a big bay window with a window box. The walls were classic lath and plaster.

These days they make homes out of 2x4s, plywood, stucco and drywall. The interior doors and trim are white painted pine.
