Coliseum Building, Lake Street, Minneapolis, boarded storefronts

The Coliseum Building, located on Lake Street in Minneapolis, features boarded storefronts and windows. Constructed in 1917, this building historically served as a significant commercial and entertainment hub for the Longfellow neighborhood, housing a theater and various retail businesses. The plywood boards, some decorated with community murals and messages, reflect the widespread damage and subsequent community efforts following the civil unrest in Minneapolis during 2020. This structure continues to stand as a testament to the area's commercial past and its recent history.
