      Not everyone can afford to pay $36-Million for a house...but a man in Florida has done just that for the house described as a masterpiece. The Miami Herald reports:

"...the house has been "featured in numerous articles and books, stands as a well-preserved exemplar of (Alfred Browning) Parker’s “organic,” environmentally-oriented approach to architecture. And it represents an unusually innovative response to South Florida’s subtropical climate and the need for buildings to absorb the wind and surging waters of hurricanes."

An aerial photo shows a current view of the Coral Gables house that architect Alfred Browning Parker designed and built for his family in 1963. The new owner is seeking to demolish the house, widely considered an architectural masterpiece.

 

     But the new owner doesn't want to live there. He's planning to tear it down.
