Most of the architecture of the 1950s and 1960s is tired, old, and badly out of fashion. However, if we keep knocking it down, at some point we will be horrified at the destruction of this historically significant buildings of an begone era.

Pennsylvania Station was 63 years old when it was demolished. Hardly historic at the that time -- indeed there was very little organized opposition to it's demolition. But soon after it was gone, people realized what a mistake it was. Everytime we tear down a historic structure, we lose a bit more of our history.
