Looking at the renditions and reimaginations of what London looked like before the great fire, they actually met my expectations. The London space carried the architecture style of the time with the wood frames for homes and the closely packed home settings. Even though the spaces of that time have changed with the rebuilding of homes and especially churches, their changes carry the load of the history in a way as the changes and needs hold relevant to their purpose and surrounding culture. In regards to the churches, damage from weather and natural disaster changed the conditions in which they were reconstructed each time over a fairly large span of time. The purpose of the St. Paul's Cathedral didn't change, but the different constructions left a different stamp of time, culture, and style that more enhanced the weight of the space rather than reconstructing an entirely different space from scratch. I think this is why it has remained in the consciousness of Londoners since the beginning of construction. Both the fire and the history behind the changes of the building have added character that almost places a mark on the city as a whole.
