IDS Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1106 words) |
 | Opened in 1974, the IDS Center (or IDS Tower; in its first years its name was officially spelled IDS Centre; at the time the europeanism was supposed to reflect the tower's role in catapulting Minneapolis into its present status as a world-class city) is the tallest building in Minneapolis, Minnesota at 792 feet (241.4 m). |
| The IDS became the tallest building in Minneapolis when it surpassed the height of the 30-story Foshay Tower in 1972 while under construction, ending that building's 43-year reign over the city skyline. |
| As area journalists reported on the sale of the IDS Center to the John Buck Company in 2004 and the death of designer Philip Johnson in 2005, they came face-to-face with the fact that the roof of the tower was one foot lower than its neighbor. |
