Alleyway in downtown Minneapolis framed by the IDS Center and AT&T Tower at dusk.

An alleyway in downtown Minneapolis frames the IDS Center and the AT&T Tower. The older brick buildings lining the alleyway, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century, contrast with the modern skyscrapers. The IDS Center, completed in 1972, was Minneapolis's tallest building for many years and a significant example of modernist architecture. The AT&T Tower, also known as the Marquette Building, was completed in 1983. This view highlights the juxtaposition of older industrial or commercial structures with contemporary high-rise development in the city's central business district.
