Now maybe there is some merit in building a replica Victorian House, something like Guédelon castle, but nobody is suggesting the President.of France should live at Guédelon.

That's just dumb. Build a replica, if it looks good. What's wrong with a building looking good? When did that become forbidden?
There is plenty of merit of rebuilding this house as a true Victorian house. I don't care if you call it a replica or a pastiche. None of those words would take away the good looks of the building that would result. Jeeeeesus!!
