On the far right, Capella Tower stands out with its distinctive ring-shaped halo, an element added during the 1990s wave of illuminated crown designs across American skyscrapers.

October 2025 — A large-scale mural depicting Prince dominates the side of a brick building, illuminated by a row of rooftop lights that emphasize both the portrait and the texture of the masonry beneath it. The artwork presents Prince with his iconic guitar, referencing his role not only as a performer but as a technically accomplished musician and songwriter whose work reshaped popular music beginning in the late 1970s. The saturated purples, golds, and layered background elements visually echo the imagery and symbolism long associated with his career, particularly the Purple Rain era that cemented his global influence. Murals like this became an important part of Minneapolis’s visual landscape following Prince’s death in 2016, serving as public memorials that connect the city’s streets to its musical legacy. Painted directly onto brick, the piece blends fine-art portraiture with urban scale, designed to be read from a distance while still holding detail up close. Night lighting transforms the mural into a landmark after dark, reinforcing Prince’s enduring presence in the city where he was born, recorded, and built an independent creative empire that continues to influence artists across genres.

October 2025 — The Pillsbury A-Mill, completed in 1881 on the east bank of the Mississippi River, was once the largest flour mill in the world and a symbol of Minneapolis’s dominance in global grain production. Designed by architect LeRoy Buffington and engineer William de la Barre, the mill harnessed the power of St. Anthony Falls to grind over 5,000 barrels of flour a day at its peak. Its innovative use of water turbines, reinforced limestone walls, and massive storage elevators represented the cutting edge of 19th-century milling technology. Today, the restored complex — now repurposed as artist lofts — stands as a National Historic Landmark and a reminder of the city’s industrial ingenuity.
