Read ’em and Weep

The Cover Story at The Washington City Paper takes a look at The MLK Library, in D.C.

They look at the past, present and future of “of its right angles, the perfection of its proportions, and the logic of its transparent design.”

Since 1972, the MLK Library has chased away patrons with a panoply of natural and man-made disasters. Electrical explosions. Chemical fumes. Heat waves. Cold fronts. The occasional fire. It’s now in danger of being torn down.

Thanks to Robin from In My Book for this one.
