Great catch before it goes. Sad that so much mid-century architecture is not deemed worth saving. I don't quite understand why. So few examples of municipal buildings in this style are left now.
Bradford Martin replied:
Saving would have been far wiser but there was no money for it. The hurricanes of 2004 were severely damaging. The recession and the end of the shuttle program also destroyed real estate values. The city ordered it torn down. The owner took his life rather then see that happen. It is too late for him but not to save the building.
