4Marq Apartments Boarded at Night, Downtown Minneapolis

The 4Marq Apartments, located at 400 S Marquette Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis, is shown with its ground-level windows and entrances boarded. This protective measure was widely adopted by businesses and residential buildings across Minneapolis in the aftermath of the protests and civil unrest that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The boarding served to safeguard properties during a period of heightened public activity and concern. This widespread practice became a visible characteristic of the urban environment during the Minneapolis Uprising.
