description
You are looking east from Hennepin Avenue South near the intersection with 5th Street, which is behind you. This is the Lumber Exchange building. The nearby St.Anthony Falls were used to power both flour and lumber mills, which may be the reason for a lumber exchange here.
On the far left, the gold-trimmed building is the downtown branch of the Minneapolis Public Library, which has since been torn down for a new library.

I worked here for three years in the early 80's, and was always impressed by the main entrance with its grand staircase made of marble. The steps were worn down by 100 years of use. A beautiful building.
