Gaudy and unnecessary
Wasteful spending, by about $2-$3 million
Not your money. Gift designated by the Loves for this purpose.
Willing to spend $4-6 million on a new house, instead of re-plumbing the current house so the pipes don’t freeze? Obviously the plumbing problem is just an excuse.
On this episode of This Old House, what to do if your pipes freeze… Demolish the entire house and start over.
They have every right to seek the permission to do this, and were granted such rights. Weird to bat an eye at this but not the actually unnecessary spending on collegiate athletic facilities of teams too many worship.
They still call me monthly begging for donations…. they obviously do not need it.
That existing house sure doesn’t look 94 years old. Presumably it’s been worked over several times. It’s gonna cost $6 million to replace it? Get a better general contractor.
You can tell that the garage was a latter addition, so It had an extensive remodel in the recent past.
This is going to be a $1000/square foot!?! Unless the house has several sub-basement levels with a secret control room bunker, I don’t see how you could sink $6million on a building that size.
Obviously a University President’s house will be used for entertaining, events, guests and more, as well as family living. The appearance, materials, size and presence, all seem to fit the role, and compatible with both the campus and adjacent neighborhood structures. Seems like a good design and land use to me. Good job !
