Horrible mis-steps in architecture. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Specifically, when builders try to incorporate the modern with the old and get it completely wrong. <\/p>\n

Item #1 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mmmm…K.<\/p>\n

So, what we have here are two houses that have been, well, “joined”. I’m sure that building permits and zoning laws were no problem with this configuration. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My only question is, do we now have one big house or three? Builders: You’re doing it wrong.<\/p>\n

Item #2<\/p>\n

Now, I truly love this one. The modern day pole-barn is already such a highly regarded structure. So to mold it around a late 19th century stone-built train depot has to be a “win-win”, no?<\/p>\n

Item #3<\/p>\n

…and <\/p>\n

wait for it… <\/p>\n

CHECKMATE.<\/p>\n

For those of you who don’t know, this WAS Chicago’s famous Soldier Field. Now, it is the site of the latest sighting and apparently landing<\/em> of a UFO.<\/p>\n
