The holdout

We often see old houses next to large, modern developments because the owners refused to sell. This could be one of those cases.

Excellent capture of the contrasts between old and new.

Both buildings are beautiful, albeit of vastly different styles. Great contrast between old and new. ~BV~

Gotta cheer for the holdouts.

I infinitely prefer the old to the new and if it is a case of holding out, more power to them! I hope the house remains for many years. This sort of thing is going on here too, very unpleasant. V

class vs crass...the contrast in scale and taste is a marked one..

Interesting juxtaposition. No compulsory puchase orders in the US?

I love the old architecture, nice image.
Julie Oldfield15-Jun-2023 02:06
I hope they continue to hold out. The loss of these old buildings is shameful. A very strong contrast in styles in your great capture. V

The old architecture is so much more interesting. Nice shot of this contrasting combination.
Hank Vander Velde15-Jun-2023 01:21
This is probably one of those hold-outs, but makes for a nice contrast with the modern building.

an i prefer the architecture of the old, excellent picture!

The new ones really do over shadow the more period building, Helen.V
Nirvan Hope14-Jun-2023 22:28
More power to them! So much more 'human' and aesthetic.

I know I like the old better! V

It’s a fine old building and hopefully it can still keep resisting.
Nick Paoni14-Jun-2023 20:45
The juxtaposition is so striking here. I sure like the architecture of the old house better than the modern building.
Jola Dziubinska14-Jun-2023 20:26
Cool contrast of old-fashioned and modern. V.

Interesting! This looks like a newly developed/developing section of the city.

A rather fascinating juxtapostion of old and new!
