A lot of them have high ceilings and that means in winter it is hard to keep them warm. The hot air rises to the ceiling but the people are on the floor. I remember visiting a family in one of those homes and it was just so cold. Beautiful expensive home but they can't keep it heated, either because of the expense or the impractical design.
