Tunnel Below Burned Wells Fargo Drive-Thru, Nicollet Ave

Wells Fargo Bank tunnel in burned building
Wells Fargo Bank tunnel in burned building.

This corrugated metal tunnel is located beneath the former Wells Fargo drive-thru on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. The bank building above was extensively damaged by arson on May 29, 2020, during the Minneapolis Uprising, across from the Minneapolis police 5th Precinct. Following the fire, the site remained secured for months to protect undamaged safety deposit boxes within the bank structure. The tunnel, likely part of the building's utility infrastructure, shows signs of disuse and debris, reflecting the aftermath of the events.
