re: "America should have been art deco"

Went from Art Deco style to soulless Modernist.
This thing, The Farnsworth House, cost $75k to build in 1950. It's 1500 square feet.
I get different strokes for different folks, but damn. That has about as much style as Musk's Cybertruck that he "designed" on a napkin.
Frankly, anyone could sketch that house out with a T-square in about 10 minutes.
*btw-That house sold to a historic trust for $7.5 million around 2005.

Made a stop at Prairie and even Mid-Century Modern.
For me personally, Mid-century modern for a house. Craftsman a close second.

I think we can all agree, Art Deco is the GOAT of style and sophistication

Fair Park in Dallas has some cool art deco buildings from the 30s.

Most old train stations are great examples.
