    How disgracefully fake it is. After all it was built in the late 1800s, and the authentic Gothic style REALLY dates from the 1200s-1400s. So Cobb wasn’t/isn’t Of Its Time. How dare it?!! And how dare you highlight it!!!

    … Oh, wait. So it turns out that reviving and adapting previous styles is what 99% of the history of architecture has been about. Dang. Er, so cancel all the above.
