Speaking of plants with giant letters on them, this is another old favorite of mine. Like its rival across the Mississippi, this guy was a starring character of my daily commute. Since the “A” mill isn’t part of the museum complex on the other bank, I was always worried it would be torn down eventually. I heard recently, though, that the building is slated to become an enormous live-work artists’ complex, complete with preserved historic exteriors. So for now, at least, I’m breathing a sigh of relief—looks like this place is still A-okay.

yay! it’s my fav building on that side of the river. i’ve heard the same rumor, so i hope that means it will live on!
The rumors are true. I live in the neighborhood and have been delighted to see the progress every day. Hooray!
After some years working in Manhattan I am fascinated at how rooftops become an urban mountain range: water towers, overlapping buildings from different periods and in different materials. It leads to a harmony all its own and all the grater because it s not usually intentional. This sketch conveys that wonderfully. That the building has evolved from mill to artist live-work space make it even more meaningful. Awesome, as usual, Chandler!
