Plummer Building

The Plummer Building is a 91 -meter-high building in Rochester, Minnesota and is part of the Mayo Clinic.

Planning for the building began in 1924. Henry Stanley Plummer, who had already designed the " 1914 Building", designed together with the brothers William James and Charles Horace Mayo and the architectural firm Ellerbe Becket, the newly built clinic building. This should provide physicians with optimal treatment options, but at the same time the patient also offer great comfort. In August 1926, work began and was completed in 1928. After the building was first named after its completion year " 1928 Building", it was later given the name Plummer Building. On the roof of the building there is a tower with a carillon.

1969 classified the Plummer Building as a National Historic Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places. Until the completion of the Gonda Building, in 2001 it was the tallest building in Rochester.
