The demolition of a Wright-designed structure that occupied a place on the National Register of Historic Place raises concerns about the fate of similar structures. "This devastating situation underscores the vulnerability of all Wright-designed buildings that don’t have some form of legal protection,” says Barbara Gordon, executive director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. “A lot of people think a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as the Lockridge Medical Clinic was, or a private house that isn’t protected by a preservation easement or local landmark designation, can’t be demolished, but that is not the case."
