...Especially in the southeastern US?
By "old", I guess I mean built before the 1960s.

I live in one and I love it! It was built in 1921, has very large rooms, original wood floors, crown molding to die for, great glass paneled interior doors, a HUGE yard, and 2 claw foot bathtubs.
And since I rent, no repair bills!!
I couldn't be happier!!

No. My house is 130 years old. I greatly dislike plaster, wall sizing, knob and tube wiring, rotten fascias, cast iron pipes, multiple roofs, multiple ceilings and porous bricks, balloon studs, fire cats, gravity heat and no insulation. I really hate sash weights, rim locks and iron hinges and bats. The notion that old houses were somehow made better is just dumb- the old time builders had lousy materials to work with.
My house has gingerbread running up ti the peak- that looks nice.

oh yes, i see so many gorgeous older homes here in new orleans, but they are left to decay, and i wish i could just buy them all up and repaint them and make them pretty again!
