It's not huge but it's the fact they used cast iron.
Then they used more in everything

Yes I I think that was the idea.
Have you seen our tudor houses, usually black oak beams, white plaster, the first floor over hangs. That was to reduce the footprint, then less tax

yep we did kind of the same with split entries usually just a couple feet on any wall on upper floor as compared to foundation and lower floor

Yes that's it. Did you have a thing called window tax. ? Not sure what era it was, it was a tax basically on light! So, many victorian houses bricked up many of the windows, we still build some now with fake bricked up windows whoa

no but here in nh we get a water front tax and or a scenic view tax
tho on our split entries i'm not sure if it was tax driven or to cheapen up the cement costs and digging for the foundation. we get a lot of ledge around here

They don't have State income tax in Florida, but they sure sock it to you with property taxes. That's one of the reasons a lot in the South don't fix up their homes.

same here p and we also don't have a sales tax so it is almost all generated from property taxes
infact the new bill is on the desk now for the house.
$21.61 per 1000

That's how it is down here. Ours is on the low end, which is still high, but if we were to have waterfront, or renovate, then it would double or triple.
