1,911: The year 1000 and 911 CE and Other Numbers

At the time of this picture being taken, one of the twin obeIisks was still broken. Since that time, a replacement obelisk was eventually installed. http://www.facilities.yale.edu/Campus/Building1.asp?lstBldg=2518&submit1=Continue

{The building was built in three phases: in 1856 the first wing was built, in 1903 the second wing, and in 1911, Davis-designed Neo-Gothic towers from a previous building were added at the rear garden.}
{The 1911 additions of towers in the rear created a small enclosed courtyard in the rear of the building...}
{Pinnell speculates whether the re-use of the Davis towers in 1911 was evidence suggesting that Davis did the original building...}

There doesn't seem to be an official explanation as to why symbolic twin_towers were incorporated into the complex by 1000 & 911 years CE. Of course, twin towers are a common reoccurring theme throughout building history.

More 1,911 Connections. A fascinating series of how several things in the 20th century were connected to inventions & events several decades or centuries before.
http://k-web.org/public_html/Videos/Connections-Videos.html
James_Burke starts off his Connections series in 1978 at the WTC. He then takes the show to the Northeast_Blackout_of_1965. There is the symbolic birth of twins & a Flight 911 that's headed to NYC as the chaos starts.

{Construction of RMS Titanic, funded by the American J.P. Morgan and his International Mercantile Marine Co., began on 31 March, 1909. Titanic's hull was launched on 31 May 1911, and her outfitting was completed by 31 March the following year.}

{...the foundation stone for the building was laid on 11 May 1908 and just 3 years later on 19 July 1911, the building was officially opened...}

{Since its completion in 1911, it has overlooked the River Mersey from its waterfront location on the Pier Head and forms one of the 'Three Graces' along with the Port of Liverpool Building and the Cunard Building. This is reflected in the building's Grade I listed building status. It stands at 90 metres (295 feet) and has 13 floors.} Walter_Aubrey_Thomas died 23 years after the opening of the 13 story building on September 13, 1934.
John_Lennon grew up seeing this building with its twin towers as the tallest in the city. He would eventually move to NYC, home of the worlds tallest twin towers. Although, he lived far north of them in the Dakota. Architect Emery_Roth started a company that would eventually design the WTC. However, his fascination with twin towers went back almost 40 years before they were built. The_Beresford opened in 1929 & is perhaps the first twin tower project designed by Emery_Roth. He also designed buildings with twin_towers north & south of the Dakota.
More connections of coincidence & synchronicity with the number_11.
