I think the black cladding and glass was a great way to add a ton of square feet while still letting landmark place stay the star of the show. Great choice imo.

Is that a slurry station in the old parking lot area? Is there another building going up next to this one?

is there an entire separate building going in on the corner (based on what appears to be foundation work in IMG_7097)?

I love the composition of that photo. You nailed the juxtaposition of the classic pre-war buildings with the new building standing above.

They did a great job here. Instead of some run of the mill blue glass cubes, I think going for two international style towers really nailed it. The black facades and industrial windows and industrial steel look is a perfect contrast to the art deco landmark center.

Anyone's guess at how old those 2-storey brick buildings/row houses are on that side street?

14-16 Aberdeen, I'll guess as late 19th Century. Looks to be a converted firehouse, or similar use. Unlike the others, no basement, no gable, different lot size on the Aberdeen frontage, and, from the aerials, much different building in the rear..
12-8 Aberdeen these look to be 1920s-1930s. They either copied the brick bond of 14-16, or 14-16 was rebuilt to match 12-8.

Thanks! So cool how so much changes and somehow some things just remain and endure.
