1973 modest aptbldg for OSU students.

"The staircase gives the building a strong diagonal that I really love," I explained to a hostile passerby who asked me what the hell I was taking pictures of. "Also it's from 1973 and it has those electric meters and air conditioners, and that rust stain."

Smalltown West Virginia four-story apartment building from 1980.

It is said to have been erected in 1980 and if that is true it shows that midcentury modern design trends were super delayed in reaching Keyser, West Virginia, right? In most parts of the U.S. that style of concrete openwork on the balcony railings was super unfashionable by 1980, right?
