Do you think this is the biggest artwork and architecture tragedy in US history?

If you think about all the multi-million dollar houses designed by world famous architects that are being destroyed, and then consider all the original artwork likely contained in some of these homes, I wonder if there's ever been anything like this before in American history. Perhaps even in world history.

Some of those MCM houses that are being destroyed are priceless and worth far more than the $$$ that will be assigned to them.

Dresden, Germany says hello. There are other examples.

ETA: Didn’t notice US in the title.

There's probably not a greater concentration of architecturally significant homes and significant pieces of original artwork than in these neighbourhoods, mate.

As with most of my posts that don't initially receive good reception on TD, this will likely be another thought of mine that is eventually proven to be correct.

Architecture, perhaps.

Significant orignal artwork I'd reckon this will be the worst we've seen. Hope I'm wrong.

Sucks houses are burning but I’ve never thought about these neighborhoods one time in my life ever.

You think maybe any of Hunter's original pieces might have been tragically lost in this calamitous event?

Ugh he's the best. MCM architecture, jazz music, and tackle football are the three best things America has created in regards to art and entertainment.

Interesting home, but I'm just not a fan of flat roof homes and weird shapes.

Not turning this into a pissing match, but many have no idea how destructive WW2 actually was, not even including Dresden or Hiroshima

Berlin


Tokyo
