Carpenters Hall vs. glass & steel

Carpenters' Hall is a two-story brick building in Olde City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was a key meeting place in the early history of the United States.
Carpenters' Hall was completed in 1773 and set back from Chestnut Street. This brick and mortar structure is a treasure in historic Philadelphia.
It hosted the First Continental Congress in 1774 and was home to Franklin's Library Company, The American Philosophical Society, and the First and Second Banks of the United States.

Love how you've framed the "old" while the new looms overhead!

Beautiful composition. I, too, like the old better than the new. ~

Oh, I like the old much better than the new...yeah, where's the snow? 18 inches couldn't have melted that fast up there, could it?

Historic and contemporary; excellent pov!

Where did all the snow go? Love the architecture here. Love the brick walkway leading us into the frame.
