The Four Corners is an intersection in Kingston, NY with a pre-Revolutionary building on each corner, apparently the only such intersection in the US. I don't know why, but I just found this too awesome. Despite a couple burnings and rebuilds, these are substantially the same buildings they were in the 17th or 18th centuries. I was in one today. Very amazing to me. Pictures below.

They are now, not sure why they weren't before. |

Being from Houston, we'd be more surprised if the buildings on all four corners were older than fifty or sixty years old!
