Maybe you can appreciate and recognize them as social documents. On that score, they're no different than adobes, Victorians, bungalows or any of the other successive residential waves which have washed over us. Dingbats, in their time, did a good job of absorbing a lot of new Angelenos. They inspire none of the horror in me that I feel when contemplating a ginormous Geoff Palmer "Italianate" complex.
(I'm too claustrophobic to live in a big building anyway. I like an outside door that empties to the street.)
There's five dingbats coming down on a single block near here, to be replaced with two four-story monsters (although that's not even approaching the scale of a Geoff Palmer building).
LOL. Dingbats. We'll miss 'em when they're gone.
