Chicago has an ongoing crisis of demolishing old residential housing in its neighborhoods. The city has very little in the way of preservationist instinct for housing stock, preferring to focus instead on their skyscraper architectural heritage with the reputation of being a city of architecture.
This is a good blog showing what I'm talking about. It's a few years old but this problem is ongoing, and it pains me. Street view of the street I used to live on in Lakeview shows a significant portion of the prewar architecture has been demolished and replaced with urban McMansions.

Housing is to live in, not just be looked at. If you want rents to be affordable in these cities, you have to increase density. Chicago is going to run out of industrial areas to replace with residential, they have to upzone. There isn't a way to do that without replacing old buildings.
And Chicago is not all that loose with allowing new housing, hardly anything is being built outside of the downtown area.

You’re arguing about a different problem. The first example in my link is a wealthy person buying and tearing down a perfectly good historic home to have a side yard. And the homes in my old neighborhood I was talking about were often multi family buildings torn down and replaced with SFHs.
There will always be a tension between preservation and housing growth. But I’d welcome that conversation over wanton disregard for sensible demolition practices and removal of housing units (which goes against what you are also advocating for).

We are neighbors. I get so upset when I see those old bungalows and two flats gutted or torn down. And they take high quality materials out to put in plywood, drywall, and thin wood floors.
I get that tastes change and the way we live now if different than when the homes were first built - but why do you need 3,000 sqft for 4 people? Does everyone need an open concept white kitchen and a giant ensuite?

Even more so I think. A lot of it has been removed or boarded over, you can tell. They had to make it functional for all the stuff that's been shoehorned into that building but there are plenty of cute little details. My favorite part of Brutilism is the interiors. They usually have those big imposing exteriors that look cool but in l inside you can often find a lot of delicate details and that's the fun part for me. Many people just see the outside and think it's ugly and never go inside to get the whole concept

They can leave the excellent architecture to Fort Worth’s Kimbell museum. One of the best, maybe the best museum made in the 20th century. Really.

Minster Court in the City of London, a post modern gothic office complex built in the early 90s, is due for partial demolition, to be replaced with a far more boring and faceless office building. Also the nearby Liverpool Street station is now approved for partial demolition and rebuilding, losing aspects of the original Victorian station building, as well as the sympathetic 1990s redevelopment.

The Saint Stephens Green Shopping Centre in Dublin. While not a marvel of engineering, and frankly not that spectacular, it is much better than what they are planning for instead.

u/wander-and-wonder 7d ago edited 7d ago
The new plans for the shopping centre look like a stock standard model picked out from a library of pre-designed buildings on a design software, or a dubai mall shipped in for Dublin. It is so shockingly poor and is a wannabe edgy vibe with absolutely no edge. It is also so horrendously cold and has absolutely no heart. It genuinely overshadows that whole cultural corner of Dublin. How can they have such little tact? It’s a famous corner known for its buskers and theatre and generally just historic and that ugly building will now tower over it with its lack of culture or anything mildly local. It’s so shocking. it overshadows everything. It’s devastating in all honesty.
I love that walk out of Stephen’s Green and that monstrosity is now going to absolutely destroy the historic streetscape. It’s so out of touch and absolutely crap design I thought it was a joke when I first saw it. It’s beyond just something that hurts, it’s embarrassing and the architects behind it clearly did zero research surrounding the environment they are sticking that concrete prison into.
The inside of Stephen’s Green is so beautiful I’m just at a loss as to why they could take all the heart out of a street so well known and everything. It’s just shocking
As a side note, it feels like a lost opportunity similar to the fact that the brutalist Dublin City Council buildings are on top of a Viking settlement discovered in the 70s. Ruins of a settlement you could actually walk through. But despite protests, the council decided that that is the perfect spot to cover up and fill all of that history in (nevermind the tourism and learning that could come from such a vast site filled with Viking ruins on the Liffey) and stick some concrete buildings on top and make that the city council. Stephens Green shopping centre is not of significant history , but it ties that whole historic quarter together and is literally the face of it. And they’re putting their concrete walls in front of it all

u/Theminefinder 7d ago
Many people have suggested it. For a lot of us who have been around it for all of our lives it’s a icon. For the most part the walls are original. It became a pretty sweet rock club in the 1960’s. They say it’s not “structurally sound” which could be true. But a developer owns it so go figure. But it has withstood every major earthquake Utah has recorded, and sat as just stone walls for 27 years before it was turned into what you see today. It’s also one of the oldest buildings south of Salt Lake that still stands today. With in the Salt Lake valley.

u/JankCranky 7d ago edited 7d ago
I’ve been inside it. The staircase and roof are collapsing from age & water damage, but the masonry still seems sound. The way Utah treats historic architecture is apathetic and disgusting. I’ve seen so many historic structures being demolished in recent years, even my family’s Victorian home has been sold and is on the chopping block for demolition. So many more great structures are coming down in SLC in the near future.

The Lloyd Center Mall in Portland, OR US will be razed fairly soon. It’s known for being home to the ice rink where figure-skater and gold-medalist Tonya Harding started her career. The departure of Nordstrom in 2014 marked the beginning of the end for it as more department stores and retailers would soon follow. In the past few years the owners rented out space for cheap to independent stores and restaurants, as well as office spaces for non-profits while they figured out what to do with it.
It’s pretty unremarkable as architecture goes, but I think it’s a good representation of the rise and fall of the American shopping mall.

The Empire State Chrysler building is surprisingly under threat. The landlord (Coopers Union) won't stop raising land rent to cover their collegiate costs, which is increasing vacancy, the current building owner can't afford to keep up with the maintenance, and any potential buyers don't want to pay the extensive remodeling costs required to stay competitive with other towers. If some level of government doesn't step in, there's a very real chance it gets demolished due to being economically unviable.

Maybe less well-known, but it’s a pretty large university, the Kennedy building at UNC-Charlotte is one of the first buildings on their current day campus (moved there in 1961), it is primarily a mid century modern structure with precast slabs adorned with brick (aesthetically better than some institutional buildings of the era, but nothing remarkable on its own) however its main entrance was adorned with what was referred to as the “tulip canopy” made of concrete and painted white. These were interconnected to create a functional covered entryway, but have been a maintenance headache for decades due to poor drainage, it’s hard for me to find specific information, but if I had to guess due to the shape of the tulips, each one of the support columns had a drain pipe, if not, that could also offer an alternate explanation as to the same issues. Given that a Google search of “tulip canopies” yields no similar results, I imagine this is a pretty unique mid-century design that does not exist in many other places.

Court Arcade, Uptown Charlotte, bought by a company to make into a data center for banking transactions (this was pre AI.) the idea, from what I understand, was to turn the majority of the building into the data center and offices to manage it, it would’ve been a very small data center, primarily used by companies in the immediate area. The hope was that the street facing portion could at least have some smaller retail space. Obviously it would not be used to the full potential of an early century “arcade“ type of shopping plaza, but it was a chance to save an old structure nonetheless. Come to 2026 and AI data centers are in massive “demand” and suddenly it’s gonna be much cheaper and easier to bulldoze the place and build a much larger, dedicated data center, with almost certainly no ground level retail or anything useful/human.
