In downtown Minneapolis, the Foshay Tower stands as an important part of Minnesotan history, as a building once distinct in its height. Located on Marquette Avenue, it was once considered the tallest building in Minneapolis, before being surpassed by skyscrapers that were constructed years later.

His innovative designs include the prairie house and the Usonian house.

There is a general consensus that the overall purpose of Psalm 127 is to illustrate the complete futility of relying solely on our human efforts to accomplish anything meaningful and enduring. Whether we are building a skyscraper or a building a family, if God is not the foundation of those efforts, we will fail.
