Something Big...Really Big
In 1972, the IDS Center opened in Minneapolis. Still the tallest building in the state, the 57-story building dwarfed the city's second-tallest building, the 32-story Foshay Tower. Both the IDS and Foshay are depicted in this promotional brochure soliciting tenants for the new building. Published in 1970, the brochure also includes photos of the construction site and information sheets on the IDS Center's planned features. The brochure is a new addition to our Minneapolis and Hennepin County Vertical Subject Files.
