National Windshield Survey
of Recent
Past Resources
All are welcome to
contribute photos, reports, links and other relevant information to our
National Windshield
Survey. Named after a quick survey technique -- photographing
buildings from the car -- and containing images, text, and preservation
cases separated by building type, this ever-expanding section of our site
will provide a context for your own preservation work, whether you are
studying Domes, Lustron
Houses, Bowling Alleys,
or structures from the Cold War
Era.
See
our related People pages for
specific architects and their work
See
also Recent Past Resources
by City/State for lists of completed surveys and studies.
