First National Bank Building

Saint Paul, Minnesota - Pen and Ink - 2008

For over a half century this thirty-two story Saint Paul edifice dominated Minnesota’s Capital City’s skyline until surpassed by the Wells Fargo and Galtier Plaza towers in the early 1980s. Rising 417 feet, it was completed in 1931. Perhaps the world’s first ‘skyway’ connects its 17th floor with the adjacent 16th floor of its companion building. The fifty-foot, three sided ‘1st’ sign atop the office building is a night-time beacon seen for twenty miles - with modern technology, its new LED lighting is often changed from its traditional red to other colors to be in tune with particular holidays and events.
