While I think it's technically possible to rebuild what was once there, it's likely cost prohibitive. Most old practices didn't go out of style because of large cultural reasons, but more relating to cost. That's why we see 1950s and 1960s design really popular today, and some classic old designs like board and batten coming back because they are affordable to replicate.

I'd suggest looking to Europe and Asia for better architecture of a modern type. Netherlands especially has some amazingly simple but beautiful architecture that we could easily copy and it would be popular and palatable here. I'm speaking to new buildings, not old ones in Netherlands and Europe.
