To be fair, those we build with better materials. Look closely at most of the US houses from the same period, and its drywall and CHEAP wooden walls with fake bricks. Its build to last 20-50 years max.
But if you go to the Southern stats (old slave mansions) you will find wooden houses are a few hundred years old as well, that could be in great shape. The houses buils in the last part of the colonial period in those areas were great, because they had shitloads of Money.
My wife and I went to Florida two years ago, and spend two days looking at these kind of houses, because they are a great display of craftsmanship
