Politely, I’d disagree. The old memorial library was built in 1951. As solidly constructed public buildings go it should barely be considered middle aged.
(The best city museum I’ve ever experienced—thoroughly contemporary and wonderfully curated—is Amsterdam’s, which is in a building constructed as the city’s first orphanage, in 1580.)
