Great shot! The pole and wires do not detract
one bit. These great old buildings don't
exist in a vacuum; they are at least
partially defined by their surroundings.
What a great way to put it. They don't exist
in a vacuum and I would go further and say
that in some ways their beauty stands out
because of their surroundings.
"...because of their surroundings."
....Well said.... The building above is on a
corner. From my experience shooting here in
Shanghai, these "corner buildings"
almost always look great from diagonally
across the street in a photo that shows all
the poles, wires, crosswalks, bicycles,
pedestrians, taxis, etc.

WOW! What a great design, I love the way the stripes arch, and the circular windows within them.
