Skyway

Hanging over the crane cab, looking over at the trane-sized doors below. The steel beam tracing the left wall is the support for the gantry crane this photo was taken from.

Some of the earlier buildings were dressed up with brick facades.

A tower above Minneapolis that few people see.

The office building was fancy compared to the utilitarian factory behind it. My favorite part was the logo crown.

Looking out of the brewhouse toward the river.

A wide view of the poor house. Look at the smokestack and elevator shaft, which show the former roofline.

A late look at the brewhouse, long after the stainless steel tanks were scrapped.

Before Portland-Huron Cement’s Duluth Plant was (mostly) demolished and (partly) turned into a hotel, the top of its silos gave a cinematic view of elevator row.

The vibrant colors clashed with the silent hotel.
