Chicago Burns
 click on image to link to article - registration required For the second time in less than a week, fire has destroyed a Chicago-area architectural landmark (first being the Pilgrim Baptist Church by Louis Sullivan). This time is the Wynant House by Frank Lloyd Wright, which was in a crappy condition for years. |

I know the fellow, Christopher A. Meyers, that was instrumental in documenting this house and raising awareness of Franks work in Gary and Northwest Indiana. It's too bad. We are losing these types of homes by the dozens every year, either through neglect or eminent domain.

Kevin
This is similar to having a deep sadness.... and yes even a sense of mourning as when a public figure, whom we have never met, yet we truly empathize with, passes on. It may not seem at all logical, yet it comes across a something very real. Something that was once precious and valuable is forever gone, and without having cared much for it while it was among us, we now wince and are pained at it's loss. Thank you for sharing this with us. It makes us feel as if we were to be counted among it's few friends and are meant to be notified, for we do care. Saludos Juan |

Juan that is exactly correct, I agree wholly with that idea.
I wish I had more to add. |

By the way, since this is local to my area it still gets the press. The investigators have decided that is was arson. It was in the paper last week. Look for someone to get arrested soon.
