"Or it could be a product of having a huge swath of your city disapear to be replaced with either a parking lot of something few Americans would voluntarily move into."

that possible, but would not account for the other aspects of the 20th century search for authenticity - from folk music and focus on folkways, to antique collecting, to language revivals, to the natural and heirloom food movements, historical reenactment as hobby, etc. There is a lot of that that was happening at the same time the building preservation movement was getting going. I dont think those other things are explicable by revulsion at Bauhaus design, and I lean toward economy of explanation. I think in this case the bauhaus being followed by historica preservation is just a spurious correlation. Repeat it, but I dont beleive it.
