West Freemason in Norfolk was almost destroyed by the British in the Revolutionary War. The area also survived most of the wrecking ball destruction of the '60s. Many of Norfolk's pre-Civil War buildings are located here. The Chinese Pagoda was a gift from Taiwan in 1989. (Photo from APA, Courtesy Tim Parsons)
