Rand Tower

1929 Deco glory on Marquette Ave. in Minneapolis.  What did these characters represent, the geniis of flight, the angel with Cuisinart blades for wings?  When the tower was built, it was the second tallest in Minneapolis, second to the Foshay, and held its own on the skyline for several decades.  Both buildings opened as the national economy cracked and split open, spilling out the depression, the chaos of the war.  But for a brief moment, it was prom night in the American Century. And what a future they dreamed then.
