Aahh! Urban Renewals Legacy Still Haunts Us

Lost America was one of the first books on domestic architecture I ever read. While the homes are in different stages of neglect,some were simply wonderful. Thanks to urban renewal and Americans general opinion of all things old being useless,all of these places are gone. While looking through this book, old house lovers will be saddenned and even angry at what was allowed to happen to our forefathers'architectural legacy. One will also have a slight feeling of relief that some are more preservation minded today than 25 years ago. Any student of architecture or architectural history should be required to read this book. It is truly fascinating reading(and looking!).
