ADM Grain Elevator and Harris Machinery Co., Minneapolis

ADM Grain Elevator and Harris Machinery Co., Minneapolis

October 2022 — The aging ADM grain elevator rises over the Harris Machinery Co. building in Minneapolis, a reminder of the city’s long industrial relationship with grain milling and riverfront commerce. These concrete storage silos and metal-clad headhouses were once central to moving Midwestern grain through the milling district, part of an infrastructure network that fueled Minneapolis’s identity as the “Flour Milling Capital of the World.” Harris Machinery Co., a longtime supplier of industrial equipment, occupies the foreground, its brick façade contrasting with the weathered surfaces of the towering elevator. The structures together illustrate the layered industrial history of the city’s working riverfront.

Bench Overlooking Downtown Minneapolis Mickey's Beer

Bench Overlooking Downtown Minneapolis Mickey's Beer

May 2022 — A weathered metal bench sits along one of Minneapolis’s elevated pedestrian and bicycle bridges, its frame showing rust from years of exposure to winter salt and freeze–thaw cycles. The skyline appears in the distance—soft, cool, and out of focus—giving the bench a quiet vantage point over the city. Graffiti tags on the slats and a discarded green Mickey’s bottle beneath the seat add small traces of everyday use, hinting at how these bridges serve not just as transportation corridors but as informal social spaces. Many of the city’s long-span pedestrian bridges, especially those built over rail corridors and highways, were added during the late 20th century to connect neighborhoods divided by infrastructure. Despite their utilitarian design, they often become familiar landmarks for runners, cyclists, and residents crossing between neighborhoods at dusk, when the muted lights of downtown begin to glow against the evening sky.
