Monadnock Building

TIME : 2016/2/18 12:05:45

Architecture buffs on a pilgrimage bow down to the Monadnock Building , two buildings in one that depict a crucial juncture in skyscraper development. The north half is the older, traditional design from 1891 (with thick, load-bearing walls), while the south is the newer, mod half (with a metal frame that allows for jazzier-looking walls and bigger windows). See the difference?
