Richard- I like the way that Europeans have new construction that is sort of neutral architecture next to historic buildings, even as expansions. You never seen imitation there.

And around 11th and W in Northwest there are several beautiful new modernist buildings that look fine next to the Victorians. And you can tell what is historic. Not where new buildings try to out-Victorian the Victorians or make a grand Victorian mansion out of what was a simple house.
However, say in a row of identical Victorians where one was lost by fire I certainly can see doing a replica to restore the unified look.
