Built in 1929 and inspired by the Washington Monument, the Foshay Tower is a time capsule from a more flamboyant era. Once the tallest building in Minneapolis, its rich limestone façade and lavish lobby echo a time when architecture was all about grandeur and ambition. It now houses a hotel, but its original vision still stands tall. Grab this Architecture Aficionado POAP for checking off a Deco darling in the 612 POAP Challenge.
