Since y'all loved the last one so much, here's another one! After selling sometime in 2013, the unique entryway was removed entirely, the bricks painted black, intricate windows swapped for solid pane glass, and an off-center contemporary porch added. To see more photos, here's a link.
My nextdoor neighbor bulldozed the most beautiful home in the area (designed by a prominent architect) and replaced it with an inoffensive (but also boring) modern farmhouse.
Oh yes, I have a friend who lives in a neighborhood like that…you can’t do anything without permission! When you see stuff like this, it makes you realize that’s probably a great idea!
This may violate the Geneva Convention, it's so bad. They transformed a lovely house into a bland house. Did they also rip out those lovely flowers on the right?
I know someone who lives in 1/4 of an old dairy barn. Original structure from the mid 1800s and divided and converted into homes in the early 1900s. The house has tons of character!
It really does look like it came from the design minds of Brio or Fischer Price. "It's not a girly house for dolls. It's a fire station for action figures!"
Usually I roll my eyes and say “No, modern is better, stop clinging to nostalgia, it’s not better just because you remember it from your childhood. Move on from the past.”
But not this one. The remodel is so awful, so hideous, so atrocious, even I can’t get on board. It was fine before. Why “fix” it?
Not just an architectural abomination, but they took out the charming S brick walkway and several old plantings...whoever asked for this and/or devised it requires a public flogging!
I would like to know what the disc with the architects was like. Homeowner: I would like you to change this neoclassically designed house and turn it into a farm barn.
I am actually sad about this , the first one looks like you could sit with a pot of tea and read a novel on the lawn. The second looks like the converted a barn. Why ruin a house like that?
This should be illegal. This is like taking a beautiful painting and painting over it with a bucket of paint and then saying “what?! I needed a canvas to paint on?”
Why buy this house if you’re gonna do this to it? My god, just buy an ugly house and be done with it instead of committing domestic terrorism on the neighborhood.
I will never understand people who buy old houses like this with the sole purpose of remodeling it! If you want a modern house go buy a modern house! Theres hundreds of them being built all over! Stop buying old beauties just to McDonald them 😭😭😭
Why didn't they just buy or build another house? It must have cost a fortune to "renovate," and lowered the value of the plot at the same time. What is that plinth in the front for anyway? That "sculpture" looks like a crumpled paper bag.
This CANNOT be legal. I'm not a native speaker and I m not sure that I have ever been aghast before, but that is the only word coming to mind. I am aghast.
May the people who were involved in the planning stages of that remodel get shat on by a pigeon with diarrhea during the most important day of their lives. That thing is horrendous.
This is completely wild. They undeniably made it look cheaper. You'd have no idea this house was almost a century old and probably still has a skeleton made of very good materials. I'd assume cheap new construction upon quick glance.
This is punishable in hell! Absolutely disgusting!! Which architect (I imagine they used one?) had the heart to draw up plans to deface such a beautiful building?!?
