No one really wants to go to New Haven, Connecticut. Granted, Yale University still maintains a campus in the city, but only as a fortified compound in the middle of a post industrial apocalypse. Ikea has a store near the highway, but there's no guarantee that they will survive the collapse of retail. Eventually, the only monument left will be the remains of this interesting creation by Marcel Breuer.
This building will be an important test for preservationists. If it has no functional value it will continue to deteriorate and be the subject of condemnation. If the highway didn't cut off the site from the water there might be some hope, but odds are good that the next tenants will be a demolition crew.
