The Eames Case Study House/Studio is probably the most significant structure in PP and given it's a museum full of Charles and Ray Eames furniture and other art it would be a great loss. There are several other Case Study houses in PP that are at risk. The Getty Villa will be full of amazing art from many eras and would be a great loss as would The Schindler House.
Looking online, it looks like these structures are ok as of now.

The San Francisco Earthquake, the Great Chicago Fire, and the burning of Atlanta would all have to rank higher, just off the top of my head.

Largest art loss will probably remain the fire loss of the celluloid movie films 30 years ago, along with all the movie posters lost by the Hollywood studios. It effectively gutted Hollywood film archives from the 20s-30s.

Again architecturally you're probably right but no way those three events combined would come close to the paintings and sculptures that will be lost thanks to the homeless bums and insane environmental policies of Los Angeles and California in these fires.
Our Luigi should have euthanized hundreds of homeless zombies instead of murdering that CEO.

Falling Water has its own publicity department. All those stress test strips throughout the building are there because he didn't really understand how to do cantilevers in concrete and metal.
And somebody involved was misogynistic because using ripple wave sandstone waves up in the floors there would keep women in heels out of those rooms.
The guides when we were there couldn't tell the difference between mahogany and cherry.

Especially if we don't limit the losses to Europe, but include millenia of Mainland China, of Japan, of some se asia kingdoms.
But with this we'd need a measure of how much "art" output was dreck even if it sold ridiculously well.
Would anyone mourn the kiss if a Baswuiat? Would we have vivid memories of Napoleon without the portraits bu David?

No, 1000% no. During the American Civil War the antebellum South lost thousands of homes built with priceless antiquities and European artifacts.

Gobs and gobs of priceless shite has been destroyed over the last century. Old growth hardwoods and lumber, leaded and stained glasses, ornamental millwork, inlaid flooring, shite only the super rich can build today. Houses capable of standing 200+ years discarded after 40-50

I thought the Getty burned down based on the thread title.
It is sad that hundreds of classic MCM homes and bungalows will be replaced with sterile glass and steel monstrosities.

Just one of those lives lost is worth all of the monetary value lost combined. Easily.

Frank Lloyd Wright's "Prairie School" is decidedly earlier than and NOT MCM. It coincided more with the Arts and Crafts movement, in response to Victorian architecture. Wright went one way, Arts and Crafts kind of the other.

Dresden, Germany says hello. There are other examples.
In the future, those proved valuable. But at the time in present, I'd imagine more collectibles are present.

FLLW was building his Usonians during the MCM movement.
They have their downsides, generally not built for someone 6'4" for one, but far superior in appearance over the MCM style to my eye.
