South Second and Liberty Sts.

720 South Second St.  You have just passed a large-massed building with a low portico or walkway running across the front.  What is this building?  How do you know?  Besides the signs, what tells you that it is a church?  This is a design common to suburbia, but does it fit in �Old Mankato�?
Now look back across the street at the building on the corner of Grove Street (729 South Second Street).  Is that a church? No, but it was.  Today it is home to Two Fish Recording Studios and a private residence.  It is being adaptively reused.  How does it fit in the streetscape?  Should it be torn down?
Continue along Second past Liberty to Warren Street.
