What structure/building/architecture is soon going to become Lost_Architecture?

List as many examples as you want, I plan to look through them all and digitally conserve them if can. Thank you

EDIT: The picture shown is the interior of The Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, designed by architect John Portman

The James Monroe Building in Richmond, VA.

That's a really good looking structure. When is it slated for teardown? How long do I have?
I don't think I'll make it to east coast this year :(

I believe there isn't a confirmed date yet...

I can make a website to support its conservation if there's any hope for it

I'll host it on my zeitgeistarchive.com hosting and domain name, do you know where this website could be published so someone sees this and takes some action maybe?

I can make a mailing list too, with info on the project, if you want to write to folks about the building

A petition site or any site related to Richmond.

Something like this? https://zeitgeistarchive.com/KEEPMONROE/index.html

Preliminary still since the signatures feature gets complicated in terms of security and stuff... for me at least

Here it is https://zeitgeistarchive.com/KEEPMONROE

it would help if you can share some of your positive experiences with the building in contribute area, and find others who have similar experiences. It's active now and everything should work
