First introduced in 1949, the train linked Chicago to the San Francisco Bay Area, offering panoramic views of the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada. The glowing red lettering, paired with imagery of a bridge, skyline, and streamlined locomotive, reflects the optimism of mid-20th-century American rail travel and the romance of crossing the continent in comfort and style.

J. P. Pulliam Generating Station was an electrical power station powered by sub-bituminous coal, which could also be substituted by natural gas. It was located in Green Bay, Wisconsin in Brown County. The plant was named after the former Wisconsin Public Service Corporation president John Page Pulliam (–June 15, 1951). The plant units were connected to the power grid via 138 kV and 69 kV transmission lines. The remaining coal units on site were decommissioned in 2018 leaving only the natural gas fired P31 unit active at the site.

Steam rises from the Barry & Sewall Chemical Company complex in Northeast Minneapolis, a facility known for producing adhesives, coatings, and specialty chemicals for over a century. Illuminated by floodlights and framed by dense pipe networks, the site reflects the city’s enduring industrial infrastructure along the rail and river corridors. The hand-painted logo on the wall remains a remnant of mid-20th-century branding still visible across many older manufacturing sites in the Twin Cities.

A weathered metal sign mounted on a brick wall warns “NO SMOKING BEYOND THIS POINT,” its paint cracked and dulled by decades of exposure. Signs like this were once common in milling and industrial facilities across Minneapolis, where airborne dust from grain or manufacturing posed a significant fire risk. The hand-lettered typography and aged surface reflect a bygone era of factory safety culture, preserving a small but telling fragment of the city’s industrial heritage.

Once part of the vast milling network that shaped Minneapolis’s industrial identity, this now-closed General Mills Purity Oats plant at 1201 Jackson Street NE reflects the city’s transition from global grain hub to post-industrial reuse. The modest brick complex, still bearing its original signage, served as a specialized processing site within the company’s broader cereal operations before its eventual closure.

Built in the early 1930s, Chateau Hutter was originally envisioned as a European-style resort and winery overlooking Sturgeon Bay in Door County, Wisconsin. The stone building, designed with locally quarried limestone and heavy timber framing, has long been abandoned but still stands as a striking relic of pre-war leisure architecture. Its location on a bluff above Lake Michigan and its craftsmanship make it one of the region’s most enigmatic remnants of early tourism development.

The Ephraim Moravian Church, located in the heart of Ephraim, Wisconsin, dates back to the mid-19th century and reflects the town’s deep Moravian heritage. Founded in 1853 by Norwegian settlers under the leadership of Reverend Andreas Iverson, the congregation built this white clapboard church overlooking Eagle Harbor as both a house of worship and a symbol of unity for the early Door County community. The building’s steeple, traditional in form yet understated in design, continues to define Ephraim’s skyline, linking the village’s modern charm with its Scandinavian and religious roots.

At Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, goats graze atop the restaurant’s sod-covered roof—a long-running local tradition that began in the 1970s. The family-owned establishment, inspired by Scandinavian architecture, features a living roof that not only nods to Swedish design but also became a tourism icon in Door County. Each summer, the goats climb onto the roof via a wooden ramp, drawing visitors from around the Midwest who come as much for the novelty as for the restaurant’s traditional Swedish pancakes and lingonberries.

The ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor steel mill in East Chicago, Indiana, is one of the largest integrated steelmaking facilities in the United States. The complex traces its origins to the Inland Steel Company, founded in 1893, and its massive brick headquarters—seen here—was built in the early 20th century to symbolize industrial power along Lake Michigan. Today, the plant remains a cornerstone of American steel production, encompassing multiple blast furnaces, coke batteries, and finishing lines. Now operated by Cleveland-Cliffs following its 2020 acquisition of ArcelorMittal USA, Indiana Harbor continues more than a century of continuous steelmaking on Chicago’s industrial lakeshore.

The Lakewood Cemetery Memorial Chapel in Minneapolis, completed in 1910 and inspired by Byzantine architecture, stands as one of Minnesota’s most significant funerary landmarks. Its interior mosaics—crafted with over ten million pieces of Venetian glass—were modeled after the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The surrounding landscape, designed in the late 19th century, reflects the “garden cemetery” movement that emphasized serenity and park-like beauty. Today, Lakewood remains both an active cemetery and a public green space, connecting generations through its art, architecture, and memorial traditions.

The Lakewood Cemetery Garden Mausoleum, completed in 2012 and designed by Joan Soranno and John Cook of HGA Architects, represents a modern counterpart to Lakewood’s historic chapel. Built into the natural slope of the cemetery grounds, the structure uses gray granite and white mosaic marble to evoke quiet reflection and permanence. Its minimalist form and interplay of light were conceived to harmonize with the surrounding landscape of Lake Calhoun (Bde Maka Ska).
