Compare the coldness of lines and substance [of modern architecture] – there is nothing “colder” than cement – to the recollection, the warmth, and the harmony of these old houses in Warwick. They all seem to consider the passerby with a smile impregnated with familiar kindness, and to contain in themselves the warmth of domestic life animated by and rich in moral values.
Simple houses, unpretentious, pleasing to the gaze, the very image of the daily life of their inhabitants. Houses that follow the same style, yet each one having its note of originality, discreet and lively.
