Proponents of the recent past argue that by restricting evaluation of historic architecture to only that which is 50-years or older is leading to widespread endangerment and demolition of buildings and sites with periods of significance from the postwar era. This report studies the use of criterion G in-depth since the inception of the National Register program and attempts to identify and quantify the resources lost through continued adherence to the 50-year rule. The analysis is done in two parts.

Hansen, April 2004 History Eliel Saarinen, along with his wife Loja, son Eero, daughter Pipsan, and son-in-law J. Robert F. Swanson, founded a creative tradition at Cranbrook that endures to this day. The Saarinens' fame and design philosophies attracted many of the brightest talents in the architectural, design, and planning fields to study at Cranbrook or to work for their businesses --- known variously as Saarinen and Swanson; Saarinen and Saarinen; Saarinen, Swanson, and Saarinen; Swanson Associates; and Eero Saarinen & Associates, depending upon the shifting union of the principals. Recognizing that these associates possessed a wealth of information about the architectural practices of Eliel and Eero Saarinen and the Swansons, the Cranbrook Archives, under the direction of Mark Coir, organized a reunion of more than fifty architects, model makers, draftsmen, and other members of the Saarinen circle at Cranbrook. The reunion, held over the weekend of August 11-13, 1995, was the first concerted attempt to capture recollections in a unified way, and it produced more than eight hours of recorded reminiscences.
