But if it's preserved as built, won't it have to be re-preserved over and over
again?
Sort of like stuffing a bad-tempered pet after it's dead, and then spending
the rest of your life keeping the moths from eating it.<<<<<<<
If preservation was easy everyone would be in it.
Out of sight, out of mind, but do we really want to forget? Well, we could
write articles or books about these buildings, but nothing carries the message
like the real thing. Perhaps the struggle to maintain an unmaintainable
building will have many extant examples. Isn't this what is happening with all
the F.L. Wright buildings?
