Combining The Old With The New

Today we were downtown and I passed by this construction site. A new office tower is being built on the the site where the Ramsey Department Store once stood.
When the building was torn down they preserved the bricks from the original facade and as uou can sree they have incorporated them into the construction of the new tower

More costly to do, but does add to the flavor of the city.

[Dawn]

Impressive building Love that they used the original bricks

[gloria jones]

Neat shot, contrasts

[Tony]

Wonderful capture as the old is made new again.

[Babs]

Love the juxtaposition of the old and the new, they blend in so well together.

[Veena Gupta]

Great capture. Our city too has many redevelopments as space is at a premium.

[ShirleyB]

Nice capture of the changing face of the city. Great that they used the old bricks to make the new.

Great photo. I love the contrast between old and new. Nice that they kept the facade of the old building. I think that's what gives cities character and a sense of history.
