North Star Blankets

(Filed under: Parks & Sights)

I love the North Star Blankets building in Minneapolis near the Stone Arch Bridge and the Mississippi River. It's been converted into condos like everything else in the Twin Cities, but it still has the cool sign at the very top. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and consists of three joined structures built between 1890 and 1925. The condos were developed in 1999.

I also love the detail of the star shape behind the bolts in the wall of the building. I don't know if those are washers with a functional purpose or purely decorational, but they're cool. What a nice detail.
