True Left

Finally mainstream journalism is beginning to learn to talk about Western architecture as we do!

A decadent $33 million Gilded Age mansion is on sale for the first time in nearly half a century. Take a look inside.

It's a start.

Known as The James F. D. Lanier House, the agent listing it calls it a "work of art."

Credit to them for also mentioning how Westerners see it, thus highlighting the existence of opposing views. This is the first step, because far too many people (who have not read this topic and others around here) are currently not even aware that some people (we!) consider Western architecture the most inferior of all. In contrast, these are the people who appreciate Western architecture:

In a press release provided to Insider, Christie's details that the mansion was built in 1903 as a home for James Franklin Doughty Lanier II – a banker and "pioneering automobilist" – and his wife, Harriet.

The couple were prominent members of New York's high society at the time, making the cut of the 400 "fashionable" members of society listed by New York socialite Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, The New York Times reported in 1892.

Besides being ugly, it is also un-American. How long will it take mainstream journalism to start describing it as such?
