| View from the Stone Arch |
The tall buildings of the Minneapolis skyline can be see from the St. Anthony side of the Mississippi River. |
This photograph was taken when the tallest building on the skyline was the city hall. The 10th Avenue bridge in the foreground has moved. |

| The Falls at St. Anthony |
The water that flows over the Fall at St. Anthony runs gently down an inclined structure called an apron. |
Originally the water poured directly over the rocks, which were being rapidly worn down by the flowing water. |

| Stone Arch Bridge |
The Stone Arch was rehabilitated for use by pedestrians. Guard rails were added for this purpose. |
The bridge originally carried two sets of railroad tracks that allowed trains to cross the Mississippi. |

| West Side Milling District |
Fires and demolition have left only these ruins and abandoned buildings on the Minneapolis side of the river, part of which now houses the Mill City Museum. |
The numerous mills in St. Anthony and Minneapolis made it the largest milling community on the entire planet at their time. |

| Hennepin Avenue Bridge |
This suspension bridge is the fourth in a series of bridges that have spanned the Mississippi at Hennepin Avenue. |
This stone version of the bridge replaced a wooden version. A steel span bridge would replace this one eventually. |
