The Midtown Exchange building at 2929 Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis stands behind the debris of structures damaged by fires. These fires occurred during the civil unrest that followed the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd, impacting the South Minneapolis neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1928 as a Sears, Roebuck and Company catalog distribution center, the Midtown Exchange now functions as a prominent mixed-use complex, housing businesses, residences, and a public market.
