Preserve buildings of historical significance, of course. Old, though, doesn't necessarily equate to historic. When we moved we had a house in progress customized to our needs during construction, something that could not be done with an older house, and there really weren't any older houses that had exactly what we wanted, large rooms and an expansive master suite in particular. I love that our master suite is larger than my first apartment and the modern great room arrangement of family room/breakfast nook/kitchen all connected in a single living space.
While I like the idea of an older house, I like the idea of having one customized to my needs and tastes even more.
