As for the generic, boring modern buildings that aren't worth saving, well:

Are these not the same? Even if fixed up, are they really that architecturally significant? Does a cornice and brick wall make a building worth more to society than steel panels and a glass curtain wall? |
Do developers even use real brick walls anymore? And when was the last time someone built something with decorated cornices?
Even the fake stuff doesn't really seem the same as what it tries to replicate. I'd look at it as historic simply because we don't build like that anymore.
