NEW 30TH STREET STATION  PHOTOS 10_31_05

NEW CATENARY HAS BEEN INSTALLED TO THE APPROACHES OF 30TH STREET STATION NOTICE GLASS MIRRORED BUILDING NEXT TO 30TH STREET SIMULAR TO  THE NEW CIRA CENTER, BUT I BUILT THIS MODEL IN 2000 FIVE YEARS BEFORE CIRA .ITS ALWAYS A GOOD ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE WHEN DESIGNING A  NEW BUILDING NEXT TO A CLASSICAL BUILDING THE NEW BUILDING SHOULD NOT COMPETE  OR OVERPOWER WITH THE EXISTING BUILDING .  MIRRORED GLASS  DOES THAT.
