20240622. The way the IMMIX rental building handles Fire Hall #3 and its clock tower (1872) strikes me as overly busy with patterned balconies and discordant materials at ground level but I do like the quality of restoration by ERA Architects, the glass facade of the long gone hall and the way the clock face is against a more subtle background.
