I wondered what that building was at the far left of the picture, next to the older Times building, so I went there with Google Earth.
If I were to pan down from the angle of this screen cap, you would see the foundation of the old state building on the left. How interesting - city hall wasn't the only government building downtown that had an older office building sitting on its front lawn!
