Mid-century building designs are now considered "historic." With most of these designs fifty years old or older we now need to start preserving these gems before they disappear. Please read this great article from the Dallas Morning News on how mid-century designs are attracting preservationist efforts from all over the country. As quoted in the article, "...tearing down a building triggers a new appreciation for what is lost. Absence, as they say, makes the heart grow fonder. And it can spur political action."
I just lost out on buying my own mid-century modern fixer-upper to some cash having foriegn invester who is just going to rent it out and let it rot :(
