Seventh St. shortly after the building's completion. (The sigh above the door says "Opening soon.") Note the old streetlamps, the tall tower of the Donaldson's building, and the sight at the end of the street: trees. Everything in this picture is gone except the darker building left of the Radisson - that's Dayton's Department Store, and it still stands today.

Even though little in this picture remains today, this image - with the old Rad on the right and the old Donaldson's on the left - feels amazingly familiar to Minneapolitans over, say, 35.
