Builders can build whatever you want. You get an architect to draw up the plans, submit them to the city for approval and the builder will build it.
If your looking for the same feel of a certain era, yes that can be done. If your looking for the same building practices and material quality that is less likely. For example, plaster lathe was used in old victorians but has been replaced by drywall today. Insulation and windows have improved dramaticly, and even desirable floorplans have changed as our culture has begun entertaining far more casually than our grandparents.(Not to mention, most old houses also only had one bathroom). Any library should have access to books with many historical floorplans that could be redrafted and built today, but most likely you’d want a modernized interior with a vintage look exterior. These are available online or by having an architect assist you.
As of now there are many home builders around the globe. Find more experience and you have to earn the trust with them to achieve the goals you have. You have to make National Contractors Rating Bureau the only place you and your friends go to find a good contractor.
