The Salvation Army in the North Loop

On a cold winter night in Minneapolis, the Salvation Army’s brick building stands in the foreground, a reminder of the nonprofit’s long presence serving those in need near the city’s downtown core. Beyond it, steam rises from the nearby power plant while the illuminated skyline glows with high-rise towers, blending industrial grit with modern glass. The juxtaposition of snowy side streets, mid-century warehouses, and gleaming skyscrapers reflects the city’s layered history — from its working-class roots to its contemporary role as a regional hub of commerce and culture.
