" … in the wild struggle after novelty, the fantastic is mistaken for the graceful, the complicated for the imposing, superfluity of ornament for beauty, and its total absence for simplicity."

John Ruskin bought the, at the time, rather dilapidated Brantwood house in 1871 for £1,500, roughly equivalent to £175,222 in today’s money.
