The Foshay Tower is an Art Deco skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota, now operating as the W Minneapolis – The Foshay hotel. Modeled after the Washington Monument, it was completed in 1929, months before the stock market crash that October. It has 32 floors and stands 447 feet (136 m) tall, making it the city's tallest building until the IDS Center was completed in 1972. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
