David, From what I understand, none of those buildings are true brutalist buildings because they are not constructed entirely of raw concrete as the Third Church of Christ Scientist is. Even if you consider them in the brutalist style, they still can't be viewed as representative of a real brutalist building as the only such building we have in Washington constructed in the brutalist manner ... i.e., the Third Church of Christ Scientist.

Frankly, if this building got landmarked it had to meet the criteria for such landmarking. One can argue they don't like the style, or that they feel that owners have a greater right than the rights which landmark designation gives to the surrounding community, or any of a number of things ... But to argue about the eligibility for landmarking when the experts have already landmarked the building is kinda non-sensical ... to be frank.
