AWESOME: University Lutheran Church, Gainesville Florida



AWESOME: Gainesville FL has a variety of architectural gems, but the mid-century modern stuff has been overlooked by the local preservation people. This AWESOME building does not seem to be in any danger but it does sit on a prime piece of land across from the stadium - one beautiful church on this strip was lost in the bubble, and rebuilt recently in a far less attractive form. The good news is, with the current slump in development, there is the opportunity for the Preservation folks to get ahead of the next wave of development. As far as I can tell, this is the only example of Polynesian Modern anywhere in the 'ville.
