EDITORS COMMENTS
This bird's-eye view print of Minneapolis, Minnesota, dated circa 1886, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of this bustling Midwestern city. The image, published by an unknown company, depicts Minneapolis as it was over a century ago, with the Mississippi River dividing the city into two distinct halves. On the left bank of the river, the print reveals a thriving commercial and industrial center. The mills and factories, including the famous flour mills for which Minneapolis was famously known, dominate the landscape. Smoke rises from the chimneys, signaling the industry and hard work that fueled the city's growth. The Mississippi River, a vital source of transportation and commerce, is dotted with barges and steamboats, adding to the bustling activity. On the right bank, the print shows a more residential area, with neatly laid out streets and houses. The Minneapolis City Hall and the First Congregational Church can be seen, along with other prominent buildings. The parkland along the river's edge provides a welcome respite from the urban landscape, with trees and greenery visible among the buildings. This print offers a unique perspective of Minneapolis during a time of significant growth and transformation. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the role that industry, commerce, and community have played in shaping its identity. Today, Minneapolis continues to thrive as a vibrant and dynamic city, with a strong sense of history and a commitment to progress.
