 One of the special architectural features of Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is the carved and painted beamed ceiling in the main reading room, Mayo Hall, of the Medical Library located in the historic 1928 Plummer Building. Dr. Henry Plummer, for whom the second Mayo Clinic building was named, was an early associate of the Mayo brothers and was the chief architect of the 1914 clinic building, the 1928 building (now the Plummer Building) and Mayo's medical record system. Dr. Plummer, who also designed the original library floor in the 1928 building, selected 60 prominent physicians and scientists to be memorialized on the ceiling beams of the reading room. The names of the Mayo brothers were added to the ceiling in 1950, although their death occured in 1939.
