Sounds like the history is in the address not the structure.. maybe not such a bad idea to have a refreshed design for the times and keep the address relevent..

My landlord told me about this house and its history. There was a Bob Dylan story and my landlord also mentioned that one of the persons who rigged the $64000 Question had lived there. <br /><br />I used to love walking by the house and seeing how the owner had dressed Paddongton Bear. And while the angles always bothered me, I'm a little sad to hear the new owner wants to tear it down.
