Mingonian
Here is my first image of the Rosicrucian metropolis that surrounds Mingo City. This may or may not be San Francisco in 100 years. Mingonian enclave is south of market to china basin.
The Rosicrucians and the Masons love their building projects.
Interesting hint at the direction you are headed with this. Is this a capitol of the region? The hodge-podge quality is perhaps a little deceptive. Wouldn't a city founded by Freemasons have a more ordered appearance?
I was surprised how in DC you really don't see clusters of buildings. There isn't even a "visual" city center, although the Capitol Building dominates when you are close to it. I wonder if in the Mingonian city chaos, in the form of jazz music, and order, in the Freemason doctrine, converge to create a city of balance.

The Rosicrucians will build huge new complexes in an egyptian style. The Mingonians will have whatever architecture that was still standing in 1979.
