ALL ABOARD




I recently came across some old photo's of New York City's Pennsylvania Station, and couldn't help but think of what New York Times architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable said in 1966 when the grand railroad station was razed:

"We will probably be judged not by the
monuments we build but by those we have destroyed."

Her book, titled "On Architecture," is what's currently on my nightstand.
