Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House (2008)

I know the human toll is non-existent in this news story, but it really does break my heart in no small way. Those so inclined can make a donation here.

Here is the house looking much as it did after it's 1950 completion:


And here is a photo from Sunday, showing it under 2 feet of water!
