I have found that old buildings have more interest because they have more color, more textures, more character. They have distinct personalities. New buildings may have interesting geometry, but they more often than not, are rather cold, impersonal, and interchangeable (there are certainly plenty of exceptions to that -- Gehry's work comes to mind). Interesting old buildings are plentiful across the country, although they are disappearing at a steady rate.
