My post yesterday about the pewter model of the Texas School Book Depository reminded BB pal Greg Long of his “Buildings of Disaster” collection. Created by Constantin Boym and Laurene Leon Boym, the bonded nickel Buildings of Disaster objects bring buildings where tragic events have occurred — Chernobyl, WTC, Ford’s Theater, the Unabomber’s Cabin (above left), the Waco Branch-Dividian ranch (above right), and dozens of other sadly-significant structures — right to your desktop. If the artists are taking suggestions, I’d recommend the compound at Jonestown. Buildings of Disaster
