Historical preservation is just such a nuisance, isn’t it? Raze all that old stuff and put up a parking lot for a nice modular building.
Well, at the risk of getting th ings thrown at me, you have to admit that WBL has a point: You (a society) has to draw the line somewhere. Everything from "the past" isn't worth keeping. There comes a time and circumstance when "that old stuff" should be razed and a parking lots or a nice modular building put up in its stead. Things like...
Beaugancy (France)
Lavardin (France)
Redhouse, (Scotland)
MiddleHam, (England)
Nobody said anything about a parking lot did they?
My point is that everywhere you turn there is this push to preserve everything no matter how meaningless in history it was.
I would bet the response of those that built these structures would be one of amusement that future society would think so highly of some of the junk produced in their age.
