Local pride: Rochester's skyline is capped by the 1928 Plummer Building's bell tower, whose 56-bell carillon rings out over a city where the Mayo Clinic draws patients from all 50 states and some 140 countries. On the edge of town stands a 60-foot ear-of-corn water tower — a beloved 1931 relic of the canning plant era.
