The NYT had an interesting article about certain regulations in Europe that classifies buildings as being worthy of demolition, much as preservationists will push for historic districts. In England, there are Grade X classifications for ugly, worthless buildings. The article is worth a read. But it got DCist thinking about buildings that are worthy of demolition in the District because of their architecture.

So we generated a list of buildings of potential Grade X buildings in D.C. Now every building, beautiful or ugly, has played a role in the development of the city, for better or worse. So DCist isn’t advocating the destruction of any building. But we wouldn’t be surprised if someone made a call for their destruction. Look on the jump for the list, and please contribute more.
