An aerial view of the fire-damaged apartment building along Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis, photographed the morning after the incident. The structure’s roof is completely gone, and its upper floors are visibly burned out, leaving only the exterior walls and charred framing behind. Surrounding buildings—mostly mid-century apartment blocks—show normal winter conditions, their roofs covered in fresh snow. Traffic moves through the busy Lyndale and 24th Street intersection while the fire scene remains cordoned off with temporary fencing. The image highlights the dense residential fabric of this part of the city and the stark contrast between the intact neighborhood and the gutted building at the center of the block.
