Hieroglyphics The Corner
In the summer of 1960, the Star Tribune sent photographers to snap a shot of every corner in downtown Minneapolis. This is the latest installment in a series that takes a closer look at those pictures (and others), and passes on a few pieces of Minneapolis history. Let's get started:There’s one detail in this old Star-Journal photo that tells you the location of this corner. Hint: King Tut.Need some more information?
Well, it’s a shot from the late '20s. There’s no information on the back of the photo to indicate why they took this picture, but we can guess: the building on the corner is about to be demolished for a new high-rise. It’s not an ancient old pile from Pioneer days - can’t be more than 30 years old, if that.

Hieroglyphics The Corner Lyrics
It was the “cyber” of its time. New technologies are always applied to things that don’t really fit; in the late '30s, when television was on the horizon, a fountain pen company introduced a line of Television pens, so named because you could see the level of ink in the translucent barrel. That wasn’t TV anymore than the laundry was radio.
Star Tribune fileIt has an Egyptian style, as does the rest of the building. There had been other revivals of the Egyptian style in the 19th century, but Tut Mania resulted in a theatrical, decorative version that included pictographs of birds and guys walking sideways like they were in a Bangles video.According to the AIA Guide to the Twin Cities, it was the Scandinavian Bank Building, built in 1895. It got the Phebes treatment in 1925, when it became the home of a bank chartered in 1920: The Marquette Bank.
