In honor of the city of Rochester, Minnesota’s Sesquicentennial - their 150th
anniversary, we’ll be building a LEGO version of the Plummer Building. The
Plummer Building is over 75 years old, and is one of the original Mayo Clinic
buildings and is a well recognized and well-loved landmark in Rochester.
A few pictures of the
building here.
We’ll be building it next weekend, Friday, September 10th through Sunday,
September 12th.
More
details on the event here.
Our version will be around seven feet tall, and 3 1/2 feet square. We’re
guesing around 75,000 bricks. A special “THANK YOU” to Jake McKee and The
LEGO Company for providing many of the basic bricks (we don’t know the cost,
yet!) and to all the BrickLink sellers that have been just super to purchase
from.

Did TLG provide you with Dark Tan bricks? j/k
Best of luck at the event. I look forward to seeing your Lego version of this
building.
Most of all, Have Fun!
Best,
Jonathan
