Minneapolis Firefighters at Former K-Mart on Lake Street

Minneapolis firefighters work to extinguish a blaze at the former K-Mart on Lake Street on October 20, 2023. This building previously served as a temporary post office from November 2020 to late summer 2023, following the arson of two South Minneapolis post offices in May 2020. The structure's history is marked by its original retail function and its subsequent, albeit temporary, role in supporting postal services during a period of rebuilding.
