Both wonderful places. I lean more toward the second. I'd love to see the houses as they were when new. The probably had double parlors and servants quarters. These houses make me think of the stories and novels of Louis Auchincloss. He once wrote about being in real life in the home of a wealthy New York City family to meet a couple friends to go to a dance or some-such. The mother called up the stairs, "Don't forget your poils. goils!" ("...pearls, girls"). That New York accent originated from the wealthy Dutch and when New York was still Nieuw Amsterdam.

@vincentgoupil180 I would say that one's accent is based more on location and the time spent there rather than on ethnicity.

@GaelinW Not long ago I read a book called "Alone Together" which is about the hisory of apartments in America, especially New York City, and part of the book was about how the designs of apartments and single-family homes came to be designed for efficiency.

@vincentgoupil180 I simply shared an interesting anecdote and what I've read of New York history along with sharing an idea about accent and location. I have ridiculed no one. I think you're reading more into my comments than is actually there.
