January 25 - Our link to the Twin Towers

I just found out today that the architect who built the World Trade Centre in New York (Minoru Yamasaki)  also designed our Dr. Archer Library.  Who knew?  The building is listed in the Wikipedia article about Minoru Yamasaki.

The Y-shaped pillars and windows enclosing the main floor echo the design of th main entrance/lobby to the Towers.  [It is even easier to see the resemblance when there is not snow piled up in the courtyard in front of the building.    :-)   ]
