I don't know.some go back to late 50s and perhaps major work was to be done and they needed to get to code and given insurance rates it's cheaper to raise them.

It's quite possible the amount of work needed on those homes made it more cost effective in the long run to build new.

The home,since I was there and you can't see the arches.they along with the turret show how arabs influenced Spain.

Turrets go back centuries in architectural designs. Europe/Great Britain have a rich history of unusual styles of turrets.

An idea of the variation on turrets: Glamis Castle in Glamis, Angus, Scotland

It would be so cool to explore a castle!

View attachment 8783 of note is this old bank is built prior to having power and the north building attached and made to look identical not long after its construction had no power originally or ac.some photos show the addition as a pharmacy, Greg loy? And western union. It had a typical Spanish awning along with bank as well.however, the awning wasn't just over a window but the stores.of note is that arabic shape from the moorish influence in Spanish. It's the only one I have a seen like that.that is why for some time it didn't seem righr.yet many a Spanish edifice will have thar as a open window or door.this does both.

Glamis was fun to tour. It's still a home....but Glamis is rather famous/infamous. First, the late Queen Mother was born there, as was her daughter Princess Margaret. Second, it's haunted....and not solely haunted by friendlies.

The bank front is really attractive. Reminds me of some European cathedrals.

It does have church appearence.old photos show it by itself.I know where that it is.I will get the mural by it too.

There's some digging I must do for the theater by the old bank
A coworker worked there until it closed and rattled off things I forgot. Ie it was a play theater as evident by a stage ,first and had a orchestra pit.I remember the wood covering over that.there are also the carbon rods for the projector and the projector it self.I will find the images of one and post
