Rudolph and the Wrecking Ball

Riverview HIgh School, Paul Rudolph, 1958/SARASOTA HERALD-TRIBUNE -- DAN WAGNER
I've posted a few times about the many teardown threats against buildings by Paul Rudolph, including his 1958 Riverview High School in Sarasota, Fla. For a while it looked as though the school might be saved. But today The Sarasota Herald Tribune reports that it will be torn down after all to make way for parking and playing fields for the school's 40-acre campus. (Via C-monster.net.) Preservationists had proposed converting the Rudolph building to a music complex but couldn't come up with the money to finance the renovations and conversion.
Al least Yale is refurbishing his Art and Architecture building. Sometimes I wonder if someday it will be the only Rudolph left.
