The air conditioning thing is interesting. I've been looking into retrofit AC options a bit lately, and aside from the ducting technology (high-velocity seems to be the way to go in retrofitting an old New England house), there's a lot of emphasis on getting the compressor sized correctly for the house size and heat load (sun exposure, number of windows, and so on play into this). It is frequently pointed out that getting too large/powerful of a compressor will only cool the house in short bursts, and that that's not good for getting rid of humidity - you end up with hot and humid alternating with cold and clammy. In fact, the theoretical ideally-sized system runs steadily, not in bursts at all. How was the humidity in these places?
