What an incredible building. Built when skyscrapers and steel framed buildings were just taking off, the Monadnock is an all masonry built throwback, not to mention the tallest solid masonry building in the country. It was commissioned by two brothers who did not trust this newfangled stuff called steel, so they insisted on masonry construction. It's abstract, barely detailed, and seems so modern.
