detailed article on a wealth of good sources. Impressive image is free. Three hooks are all sourced, but I am not yet "hooked". The first lacks spirit, and its "only" gets relative when we look at the conversion rate. The last one is something that could be said about many older houses. Leaves #2, but please reword a bit: "a confection" is not too impressive without "Elizabethan Gothic", but I would go instead for "all the romantic aspirations of the early 19th century poured into it", --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:22, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
