Foshay.


Oh Mr. Foshay. What a character you are.
I happened to notice the base of the Foshay tower today...a low flat skirt of stone around the tower itself that fills out its footprint on the block.  Then I glanced up and caught this view of the IDS glass curtain behind the monumental limestone of the old tower.
  It is a challenge to depict the two buildings in a new way, or to even see them in a new way. This view from the 9th Street Skyway between Marquette and 2nd Ave. South.
