Industrial Exposition Building, Exhibition hall in Minneapolis, United States
The Industrial Exposition Building featured eight stories with a modified Renaissance exterior and a 240-foot corner tower at its northwest section.
Built in 1886 after Minneapolis lost the Minnesota State Fair bid to St. Paul, local citizens raised $250,000 for this structure near the Mississippi River.
The building hosted the Republican National Convention in 1892 and numerous exhibitions displaying technological innovations alongside European and American art collections.
Located at the former Winslow House Hotel site, the building stood as Minneapolis's tallest structure until its demolition in 1940.
The building's employees used roller skates to navigate its vast interior spaces during its final years as a mail-order warehouse in the 1930s.
