Buildings are not typically considered for landmark status until they are about 50 years old. Extant mid-century structures are are now reaching that age. In here in L.A. we have a very aggressive Conservancy that keeps an eye out for endangered buildings and proactively seek to gain protected status for them and fight anyone who tries to tear them down - sometimes they win, too. This gives me hope!
As to lost "standards radio", we used to have such a station at 570 AM until it went to sports. Thank God for the internet.

Hey Swanky, I am so glad that you posted this topic because I was just hangin in your Swank Pad today at live365.com and I was looking for an opportunity to thank you for your great internet radio station, and didn't want to post off-topic. I actually got to hear your voice - nice touch. You're my hero. You put your effort where your mouth is and fill the gap left by traditional radio.

You also turned me on to Ursula 1000. I want to get one of their albums. Which one do you recommend?
