Rochester, MN: Landmarks and important buildings?
I'm doing a class research and need to know the important buildings (including government) and landmarks for Rochester, MN. So far I've came across:
Rochester International Airport,
Quarry Hill Nature Center, Oxbow Park & Zollman Zoo,
Social Security Office,
USPS offices
City of Rochester (at 201 4th St SE?)
Rochester Public Library
Community Behavioral Health Hospital of Rochester
Mayo Clinic
Rochester Methodist Hospital
FastCare South; FastCare North; Olmsted Medical Center Hospital; Olmsted Medical CEnter (Rochester NorthWest and Rochester Southeast)
Rochester Art Center
Soldier's Field Veterans Memorial
Plummer House of the Arts
Anything else? I'm probably still missing a lot. Thank you.

Off the top of my head, I'd add:
St Mary's Hospital (one of the largest in the country)
Kahler Hotel: historic hotel connected to the Mayo Clinic
Rochester Subway System: like an underground version of the minneapolis-St. Paul skyway system
I think there's also a fairly large monestary or convent

I think the first strip-mall was in Rochester too (Miracle Mall on 52 I think).

Yes, IBM does have a large facility here.
There are numerous buildings downtown that are part of the Mayo System as well - Hilton (after Conrad Hilton), Plummer, Harwick, Siebens, Guggenheim, Gonda, Baldwin, Charlton and Eisenberg which are Methodist Hospital. There's also a couple of churches downtown that I don't know if they have historical significance or not but are St. John's Catholic Church and Calvary Episcopal church.
