American and Minnesota Flags at Foshay Tower, Minneapolis

The American and Minnesota state flags fly above the Foshay Tower in Minneapolis, a building completed in 1929 that was the city's first skyscraper. Modeled after the Washington Monument, the Art Deco tower symbolized the ambition of the Jazz Age and remained Minneapolis's tallest structure for over 30 years. Today, the Foshay Tower is a protected landmark housing a hotel and museum, representing Minnesota's civic pride and architectural endurance.
