FLL, doesn't do to much research prior to making claims, so I would investigate that for yourself.
On the Architecture, you and I are in complete agreement on the modern designs of Colonial origin. Very rarely am I ever excited. I have no doubt that you know what you are looking for.
Note, I am not at all saying that the modern construction is inferior to the old stuff, because it is not and by a long shot. Just the modern interpretation of the design. When it comes to building, there is good reason, that "they don't build them like they used to", most would not even be standing if it wasn't for the super strong old growth timber used. That stuff doesn't exist anymore (at least not in a practical supply for framing use, very, very $$$$). The engineered products in use today, far surpass the dimensional framing lumber available at most yards that folks are always used to seeing and using.
Anyway, good luck on your search.
