US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines – Minneapolis

The United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines building in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is pictured here. Established in 1910, the Bureau of Mines was tasked with promoting the conservation and efficient utilization of the nation's mineral and fuel resources. This facility likely served as a regional office or research center for the bureau's operations in the Upper Midwest. The building, with its stone facade and large windows, reflects mid-20th century government architecture. It has since been demolished.
