Kinda hard to avoid the juxtaposition though, isn't it? Not like you can conjure suitable old neighbors for these survivors. For an example of the same thing (except with jarringly more extreme difference between the old and new) in the New World, take a look at Fraunces Tavern in New York City: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7035379,-74.0113687,3a,75y,216.79h,88.61t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s7Kdcg8KIndxqpP8qp5sJZg!2e0!5s20190601T000000!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7035379,-74.0113687,3a,75y,2... The tavern dates from about 1720. So, it's old for America, although nothing special age-wise from a European point of view. But it's almost literally buried in 30 to 50 story glass and steel towers, between Wall Street and The Battery.
