Not too long ago there was a picture getting passed around of a city building undergoing exterior renovations. When construction pulled the 1950ish exterior off they found forgotten, beautiful mouldings from 1900ish underneath. New generations are always going to want to replace/cover up the decorations/style of the previous generations.
