I am an architect fanatic, It is awesome to see how a person can look at cement/brick/etc and make it exquisite, eye candy. It is an art that makes people wow... I appreciate the art of a structure... which is why no matter where I write I will always post photos and/or talk about a building etc. It really bothers me when a building is built to perfection (took years to build back then) by famous architects with hand crafted details that only an artist of that trade can delight us with and the inside of these buildings having remnants of historical around the world artifacts that the designer took care in placing so.... the designer and owner can bring the world to us here in the U.S, Buildings that were inspirations for things like great art and great writings..... and then the damn place eventually gets demolished. In the future we will never have old U.S. historical sites for our young to see if they keep demolishing the freaking buildings...Does everything in this country have to be new???? WTF
WR Hearsts' Lands End, scholars believe is the inspiration for Daisy Buchanan's house, is in the 'blue-blooded' Sands Point across the water, the basis for East Egg.
The Beacon Towers (photo posted) is thought to be the inspiration behind Jay Gatsby's West Egg mansion, which was demolished in the 1940s.. Both mansions belong to WR Hearst.
The Beacon was demolished in 1940 and Lands End in 2011...seriously!!
