The Buildings in The 21st Century
Rochdale Town Hall is still in use for its original function, as is the Founder's Building which is the main building of a major college of the University of London. The Sanatorium is preserved and restored, and is in use as luxury apartments.
The bar in the Founder's Building is named 'Crosslands' in his honour (this is the only bar on campus not owned by the students union) and is frequented by students, particularly in the summer months, who visit the bar and continue the old tradition of drinking Pimms in one of the quadrangles of the founders building.

Famous quotes containing the words buildings and/or century:
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The learned are said to have seeing eyes;
The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
