Another house in my new hometown has been designated as a historical landmark. In the article, there is a description of how the home, built in 1898 was lovingly restored by the current owners.

It kind of makes me wonder if anyone would ever want to preserve the modern homes we live in now. Can you imagine the articles 100 years from now? "Mr and Mrs Smith were meticulous in replacing the early 21st century Corian countertops and garden wallpaper in the kitchen. Perhaps most fascinating was the reconstruction of the 'entertainment center' where the original owners used to watch something called 'television' and play music on 'stereos'. Luckily, much of the orignal Bose wiring was found in the attic....."
