old stone surrounded

old stone surrounded

by glass & steel, the present

reflecting the past

You can see this scenario in many cities, an old edifice, built in the architectural style of a previous century, rubbing shoulders with modern skyscrapers. This ornate old stone building in Rochester, Minnesota, across from the Mayo Clinic, looks like a mother surrounded by her grown children, a little baffled but mostly proud, while the children, sleek and up-to-date, reflect their heritage in their facades.
