Because, as much as these buildings manifest the status and taste of their occupants, they also commemorate the talents of the artisans who have worked upon them, both recently and long ago.” …Exactly right! Well said!!

I love that picture of Number 7, where you can see the top step has been worn away by the tread of generations. So glad that there are people out there who care about looking after these wonderful old buildings.
