Downtown Minneapolis 1929 Art Deco observation deck

Foshay Tower Observation Deck

A scaled-down Washington Monument with an open-air walkway on the 30th floor and a small museum about Wilbur Foshay, the financier who lost the building in the 1929 crash a month after opening it. The bottom-up view of the IDS through the gap is unique to this perch.
