Photography of Minneapolis, Minnesota, aka "Mill City" - my town. It's a mid sized Midwestern city, but it has everything the big ones have - history, architecture, industrial grit, and a few quirks. A big river runs through it. Minneapolis has lately been going through difficult times, politically and socially, and getting some bad press. That will pass, and the Mississippi will keep flowing as it always has - right through all the life, activity, conflict, progress, opportunities and problems. Big wheel, keep on turning.
Prints of all my photos are available here.
Rand Tower in Minneapolis
The Rand Tower, at 26 stories, was one of the tallest buildings in Minneapolis when built in 1929. The stock market crashed, but the building stayed up, and today it's slated to become a luxury hotel. Its design contains Art Deco elements but is officially listed as Moderne. Some of the ornamentation has an aviation theme; the figures over the entrance represent Mercury and are holding biplanes.
Minneapolis City Hall
Minneapolis City Hall and Hennepin County Courthouse (also known as the Municipal Building), designed by Long and Kees in 1888, is the main building used by the city government of Minneapolis, Minnesota as well as by Hennepin County. The building is built of rose granite quarried in Ortonville, with many stones greater than 20 tonnes in weight. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
