The P. B. Smythe building has nothing to do with P. B. Smythe, whoever that was. It was designed to appear about a hundred years old. In reality it's about ten years old and houses a commercial establishment. But it looks good.
I like this, with the nice bell tower. We have some ten years old buildings which look like they are a hundred years old, I swear. This was obviously unintended and a fault of the contractors.
It does look good, a bit like a Spanish church. I agree with VP, we have modern buildings that crumble apart after 10 years or look like they are centuries old -usually the yucky kind of old. Not this though!
The Villages is one of the fastest-growing retirement communities in the United States.
Located in Central Florida, about an hour's drive northwest of Orlando, the Villages is now home to some 150,000 residents, many of which travel the area via golf cart.
There are now three "home towns" in The Villages, Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood. Music and dancing is provided nightly in the town squares of each of the home towns.
The Villages is a beautiful community and we hope you enjoy viewing our photos showcasing its many charms.

I'm sad that it's not really as old as it looks. But it's an interesting idea for a new building. Funny about the name! :)

Verrry interesting. MB
Ring the bell, ring the bell!
I can easily understand why you don't see or hear xylophones much anymore . . .
I guess if you don't already have old buildings it is best to create them. I agree this is a nice looking place.
