Thanks for highlighting this wonderful example of adaptive reuse. The survival of Diocletian's Palace in Split is a miracle. Continuously inhabited for over 1700 years, it contains all the historical architectural styles from the Roman to the 20th century. I once emailed from an e-cafe in a 16th century building ...

RE: An excellent article, except for what was left out: The comment by "Uncle Mike" conflates the period in Seattle's history from the mid-1960s through the 1980s into a single characterization. For example, he says that "the old stodgy councilors" were not replaced until Royer's election as mayor, which was ...
