John Kent has a wonderful Op-Ed article in the Star-Telegram on the Mid-Century Modern Homes in Tanglewood. There is also quite a bit of talk about them on Facebook.
Here's the link to the Star-Telegram article:

That was a good read -- MCM has always been high on my list. In fact, I was greatly heartened by another article linked within, describing a new mid-century neighborhood going up in Austin (natch). If the developer ever wanted to bring this concept to Tarrant County, I would be very excited about it and would definitely consider it (depending on location and price, of course).
More to the point of the article, though, it shows that building new houses in the old style isn't impossible, so if an old MCM house has to go down, at least the new owner has no excuse not to consider building something more appropriate to the neighborhood.
I suppose if Tanglewood residents really wanted to preserve the neighborhood's architectural heritage, they could organize an HOA (if there isn't already one) with an architectural committee to approve new house designs. Of course, that could turn out to be a nuclear option, given how tyrannical some HOAs can be.
