Crafting a Modern World: The Architecture and Design of Antonin and Noe?mi Raymond

Starting with this issue and with all future issues, all DOCOMOMO US newsletters and news communiqués will only be available electronically.

The viability of two SOM Buildings at the Great Lakes Naval Station project in Great Lakes, Illinois, is currently in question. On May 18, 2006, the Department of the Navy issued its first notice of Environmental Assessment (EA) for the two structures, a move which is usually a precursor to demolition. The Navy will review public comment until Tuesday, June 20, 2006.
