I like rustic ramshackle architecture

ya know like those old wooden houses they have in those Russian boreal towns...

or those old concrete Cuban houses....

or shotgun shacks in the deep south

or those red brick row houses in the north american north east

what do they have in common?

I'll say they are modest in size, they have subtle but not overly ornate artisnal touches, they all predate modern style architecture, and they are all in walkable neighborhoods... something like that ...
