Knocked all the soul out of the building. What a shame. That hideous staircase was dated even in 2012. They just didn't get the balance right in terms of respecting the building and updating it to meet the needs of modern life. It lacks warmth in the worst way. Modern architects and designers are still too in love with a kind of clinical ambiance. Who needs a sauna and steam bath anyway? Training Olympic atheletes? For people with more money than sense.

Exactly, I agree! It should feature crystal chandeliers and wall sconces not recessed lighting and clean minimalist design . Unfortunately though the look they have designed here is what most people want today. It was probably a smart business decision to rake in the most profits. I would never want it though!

@SimpleDeliciousDessertz8 жыл бұрын
Your correct in one aspect, a degree is a must, however with our economy going from bad to worse, having a degree or not is not going to keep u from losing your house. Today there are so many thousands lay off and have lost their homes. Along with that status, there are so many not able to work in their field they studied for, so on the flip side.there is no security in this system of things with a degree or not..... You can a job today and be unemployed tomorrow. So many people are from one paycheck to being homeless until it's not even funny.....its a sad reality
@jasonyoung45298 жыл бұрын
+Gail Eato Only 30% of people in the country have a college degree and roughly 30% of those people have a stem degree. A degree in health care, nursing for example can start you off with a 65k salary and with a masters easily lead to a salary above 100k. Stem careers also have an overall unemployment rate of 3%. The problem with our society today is that people are not majoring in the fields that are in demand. Getting a bachelors in art history or psychology, just isn't going to cut it. The demand isn't there. People have to make smarter decisions and choose to work harder to attain success.
@SimpleDeliciousDessertz8 жыл бұрын

+Gail Eato I will admit however that our schools aren't preparing kids for these high paying jobs. Kids aren't being prepared for math or science. That's why so many of them struggle in school. If our country seriously cared we would get rid of schools that destroy young minds. For example when kids are in elementary school they decide whether they are a math or reading student. That's nonsense. This stems from the teacher reinforcing this negative stigma that "you can't do it"

Restorations are bringing to life in the era in which it was originally. The modern staircase and fireplace make it look too modern for it. When will people use things and aren't cold and modern in these older homes? Use things that are more in line of the year it was built and stop making it what its not. If you want a modern home then build one.
