| IDS Building, Minneapolis, MN; August 1981 |
Toby hosts the fun architectural meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors where we look for portals and other architectural items of interest.
This is taken from a scanned print taken in 1981 at the IDS building in Minneapolis - the view looking down from the the top floor, 51 stories up from the street.*
Perhaps there are taller buildings 30+ years later in the Twin Cities - but this was the tallest I've been up from the ground before or since...
*I was walking in those days, but would not likely go that high in a wheelchair these days with fewer options for egress - so I am happy to have been able to make such an ascent at the time!

That is quite high enough!
You can tell this is an old photo by the smaller windows and and the absence of cell phone towers on the roofs!
I am wondering what the NW stands for?
Wow, that is quite the view! I agree with Lesley - if it was taken today, there would likely be a lot more steel and glass...
Great blast from the past!
